Apple Intelligence setup error due to no internet connection on iPhone

Found it out! Go onto iCloud.com on some other device and accept the terms and conditions there. This must be the most garbage release that Apple has put out in years. You have no option to accept the new Terms & Conditions during the setup process so your device will be stuck in an endless "confirm update loop". You can remove the error message you're seeing by confirming on some other device.

Hope it helps!

How to fix Get Apple Intelligence Error. … - Apple Community

The only thing that helped me, is going to the Apple store, where they did a hard reset and reinstalled the iOS... After that I skipped the Apple Intelligence set up at the iPhone initial set up, and it went through

Turns out that's not the issue with the error; you have to log in to another device to accept the terms and conditions. :p

Well, what else did you expect?

Stop trying to activate AppInt while you are not connected to the internet. Or else connect to the internet.

Seems pretty self explanatory. You're not connected to the internet.

I have the same issue after updating to iOS 26. Stuck in the "confirm update loop" after updating and my phone is entirely bricked because of that. I am connected to the internet but it does not seem to work either way.

Just got myself an IPhone Air, the device is completely bricked for the time being, tried everything, accepting the terms and conditions on my IPad Pro, turning my device on and off again, doing the same with the router, trying to use another persons hotspot instead of WiFi. All to no avail, hard-stuck in the Internet connection loop.

How do I do that on iClound? I signed in, but don't see any terms of service pop up. In the settings I don't have any notifications either.
