Setting up and activating iPhone
To set up and activate iPhone, turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant
steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or
creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location
Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from
an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.
Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or, with iPhone 4S or later, over your carrier’s cellular
network (not available in all areas). If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to
your computer running iTunes for activation.
Connecting iPhone to your computer
You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting
iPhone to your computer also lets you sync information, music, and other content with iTunes.
See
on page 16.
Connect iPhone to your computer: Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5) or 30-pin to USB
Cable (iPhone 4S or earlier) provided with iPhone.
Connecting to the Internet
iPhone connects to the Internet whenever necessary, using a Wi-Fi connection (if available) or
your carrier’s cellular network. For information about connecting to a Wi-Fi network, see
page 130.
Note: If a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet isn’t available, some iPhone apps and services may
transfer data over your carrier’s cellular network, which may result in additional fees. Contact your
carrier for information about your cellular data plan rates. To manage cellular data usage, see
on page 135.
