Original Title: iphone 17 pro
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26
Rebooting router worked. Just had a 2 hour long text exchange with apple. Set up wouldn’t work till I used hotspot, then same again later with eSIM. Strangely some websites would load, others didn’t. Instagram was fine but twitter wasn’t etc. Apple support page had “cannot connect to server”. Anyway, long story short, a restart of my router fixed it. Strange as every other phone in the house works fine and I set up a 16 pro max only a few months back with no issue on the same network. I definitely think there’s an issue in the iPhone 17 software somewhere as there’s plenty of people having this issue.
Opened the box to my new iPhone 17 pro max, started the set up, but it won’t go past the 3rd screen somewhere around size of chat boxes for texts without freezing and not responding to powering down. At this point I want to send it back. Any suggestions?
I have just purchased an iPhone 17 pro and I am trying to transfer my data from my iPhone 15 pro, I am getting stuck in a loop going round and round in circles tech support don’t know how to help. Normally setting up an iPhone is easy but this a nightmare
This has happened to me too. Really annoying...
I've even restarted the phone plugged it in restored it used 3 different wife sources and a hot spot it will not let me set up my phone. Even if I press continue without wifi it then just freezes. I'm annoyed tbh

Apple needs to stop pretending like there’s no issue with the 17 rather than to blame customers. Then when asked for a replacement they refused because I hadn’t brought the original box and charging cord.

That is a requirement to return any device purchased from Apple. Contained in the link below, is the following:
Standard Return Policy
There are a few important things to keep in mind when returning a product you purchased online from Apple:
Returns & Refunds - Shopping Help - Apple
Thank you thought it was me, was about to send it back haha
Have you managed it yet!? I've got the air and when I type Apple password in it just won't do anything and fails the transfer! 😩
I’m having the same issue I called the support team at apple and he said to keep trying they are working to get it sorted asap! I thought it was something I was doing at first!!!
As someone who sells these phones I can tell you the issue is NOT resolved.

Wrong; I am facing this issue as we speak! Looping when trying to do Quick Start!
I have exactly the same problem
Terrible resolution too, restore to a back up more than 2 weeks old because it said the most up to date wasn’t compatible with iOS 26 even though they was the same version on both phones
I am unable to set up my iPhone 17 Pro after multiple resets
