If you\u2019re on the go or otherwise don\u2019t have access to a computer, there\u2019s an alternate method that may take a little longer. After powering up the phone, select the option to set it up as a new iPhone instead of transferring apps and data from your old model or iCloud. Then, after it takes you to a clean Home Screen for the first time, navigate to Settings > General > Software Update<\/strong>, and install the iOS 17.0.2 update.<\/p>\n

After the update completes, head to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone<\/strong>, and choose \u201cErase All Content and Settings\u201d at the bottom of the screen. After it completes the factory reset, the setup process should allow you to transfer your existing content from iCloud or your old handset.<\/p>\n
