Apple is warning that when moving data to a new iPhone with iOS 17, it’s possible to stay stuck on the Apple logo screen. Here’s what to do.
The issue is with iOS 17, so it can affect people moving to any new iPhone with that installed. But of course today is when the iPhone 15 arrives in stores, and the first pre-orders are delivered to people, so the greatest number of updates will be to the brand-new iPhones.
This doesn’t quite complete the update, though. It will get the iPhone to the regular “Hello” screen, then prompt users through the rest of the setup process.
Apple says that if the new iPhone is an iPhone 15 model, users can then transfer data as normal. That means either from their previous iPhone, or from an iCloud backup.
If the iPhone is an older model, Apple says it needs to be updated from “a fresh iCloud Backup.” Users can still make that fresh backup from the old iPhone, but it’s always safer to have done so in advance.
