A bug in iOS 16 could complicate the activation of iPhone 14. Apple has confirmed an iOS 16 bug that could complicate the activation of new devices a bit in the initial setup phase.
How to set up a new iPhone and transfer data from an old device?
“A known problem of iOS 16 could affect the activation of the device with open WiFi networks” (connections without any type of protection, in which it is not necessary to type any type of password to activate the connection, ed). To solve the problem, Apple suggests choosing the “Connect to Mac or PC with iTunes” option on the initial greeting screen when you are asked to connect with a Wi-Fi network to activate the device, and then return to the previous screen and try again to connect with the Wi-Fi network until the procedure is successful.
The Macrumors website reports about the bug, which has had the opportunity to see a memo sent by Apple to the Apple Stores and service centers: Apple explains in the note that there is currently no official fix and that the support staff should not open a repair case for this problem. The inconvenience could be noticed by users who are currently receiving the new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Max.
For users of the new iPhone 14, an update to iOS 16.0.1 is already available which solves a problem with activation and migration in the initial setup phase. In case of problems, in extreme cases it is possible to connect the iPhone to the computer using the supplied cable and restore it by downloading the latest version of the operating system from the computer. The update to iOS 16.0.1 is also essential to complete the activation of iMessage and FaceTime.
