If you’re picking up a brand-new iPhone 15 or iPhone 15 Pro today you’re probably going to want to make sure that you install iOS 17.0.2 before you try to do anything else.
According to Apple’s release notes this new update fixes a bug that could cause device-to-device migrations to fail, something that is an issue if you’re looking to do just that on new iPhone day.
New in iOS 17.0.2:
• Fixes an issue that may prevent transferring data directly from another iPhone during set-up.
With this in mind, we would suggest that you install iOS 17.0.2 before trying to set up your new iPhone. You should be given an option to do just that during the initial setup process and it’s only a small update — it won’t take too long to install.
