Switch to Wi-Fi (Most Reliable Fix)

Even if cellular data works for browsing, Apple ID login often fails on mobile data.

Please try:

  1. Connect to a stable Wi-Fi network
  2. Retry verification
  3. If using public Wi-Fi → switch to another private or hotspot network

Many users fix it instantly this way.
