Everything you Need to Know about Setting up Your New iPhone 13

So, you’ve got your new iPhone 13, you are excited to get started – but how do you actually go about setting it up? Don’t worry we’ve got you covered.

The first step is to unpackage your new phone, which we’re sure you will have done the second you got it! From there you want to turn on the phone and make sure you are setting it up over an internet connection or connected to a computer.

The best thing about iPhones is that if you already have one, or an iPad, you can transfer all of your data easily – and you can even do the same with an Android! Below, we’ll take you through how to do both of these.

Before iPhone Set Up  

There are a few things you can do before you set up your new phone that can help it go as smoothly as possible. Make sure you have a Wi-Fi connection ready, so it is best to do this at home if you can!

Make sure to have your Apple ID and password to hand, if you don’t have one you can create one – you can also have your credit and debit cards to hand if you want to set up Apple pay at this point too!

If you are transferring from an old iPhone, now is your chance to make sure you have backed it up. If you have an Android, have this to hand.

Now, press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears. If you have any issues at this point, plug the phone in as it may need charging.

If you are choosing to set up manually, you now have to select this option and the instructions will appear onscreen to guide you through the process. However, if not keep reading.
