You need to connect to a Wi-Fi network, a cellular network or iTunes to activate and continue setting up your device. Tap the Wi-Fi network that you want to use or select a different option. If you're setting up an iPhone or iPad (Wi-Fi + Cellular), you might need to insert your SIM card first. Get help if you can't connect to Wi-Fi or if you can't activate your iPhone.
Once the insides of the phone are clean, the next thing you should do is clean the outside too. There might not be much you can do about scratches on the screen or general wear and tear, but you can sell it off without grubby fingerprint marks all over the display.
If you haven't done so already, make sure that everything you need on your old phone is off it, including any important photos, videos, notes or phone numbers. If you transferred data from your old iPhone when setting up your new phone, chances are the data may already be on the new device. Some of this data may have already been backed up to iTunes or Apple's iCloud service. Take a moment to review that this data is on your new iPhone or backed up in some fashion.
Incidentally, you have just tested the iPhone’s main microphone by making that voice recording. The remaining microphones are towards the top of the phone, and are used primarily by Siri.
If you have an iCloud or iTunes backup, or an Android device, you can restore or transfer your data from your old device to your new device. If you don't have a backup or another device, select Don't Transfer Apps & Data.
From an iPhone home screen, go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Once it’s been reset, pop in your SIM card, and start the activation process. If at this point you’re asked to enter an Apple ID and passcode to proceed, then the activation lock is still active on the phone.
There are huge discounts and offers on smartphones during the festive season. E-commerce companies are selling smartphones at cheaper prices due to competition. Many companies are selling the phone at half price. After using such a smartphone for a while, when the problem arises, many questions arise in the mind.
Tap "Get Started" to begin using your device. Make a safe copy of your data by backing up, and learn about more features in the user guide for your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
Make a note of the time, unplug the laptop and note the time again when Windows complains about the battery being almost flat. This will give you a rough idea of battery life and if it differs wildly from the figures given by the laptop manufacturer, the laptop may need a new battery.
You can send an SMS to the Department of Telecommunications asking about the phone. For that you have to send IMEI number to the department.
On some devices, you can set up Face ID or Touch ID. With these features, you can use face recognition or your fingerprint to unlock your device and make purchases. Tap Continue and follow the instructions, or tap "Set Up Later in Settings". Next, set a six-digit passcode to help protect your data. You need a passcode to use features like Face ID, Touch ID and Apple Pay. If you'd like a four-digit passcode, custom passcode or no passcode, tap "Passcode Options".
You can also use the website to check if the phone is genuine or counterfeit. You will be able to know other information including the brand, RAM, model of the phone from the website which gives the details of the phone from the IMEI number of the phone.
Press and hold the device's power button until you see the Apple logo. You'll then see "Hello" in many languages. Follow the steps to get started. If you're blind or have low vision, you can turn on VoiceOver or Zoom from the Hello screen. When asked, choose your language. Then tap your country or region. This affects how information looks on your device, including date, time, contacts and more. At this point, you can tap the blue accessibility button to set up Accessibility Options that can optimise your setup experience and the use of your new device. Get help if your device won't turn on, or if it's disabled or requires a passcode.
