Random Apple ID requested on new iPhone set-up
Received a new iPhone 14 today. Brand new from OneNZ (previously Vodafone) with seals intact.
Part way through the set-up / transfer from my existing iPhone 11 it asked for the Apple ID password for "******@********.com"
WTF?
Initial thought was this can't be a new phone. Reading the forums showed this wasn't an uncommon problem..... and one without an easy solution.
No way was I going to waste time trawling through music / photos, etc. to see which were not downloaded with my Apple ID and delete them.
Solution?
Backed up my 11 to iTunes and then restored to new 14. Sorted.
Won't factory reset my 11 just yet even though I have a back-up to restore from.
Hope this helps anyone else with this issue.
