Apple has fixed a bug in the latest iOS 16 update that prevented some customers from activating new iPhone 14 devices.

The iOS 16.0.1 update resolves the activation or migration issues faced by the users of new iPhones.

According to a MacRumors report, the new iPhone 14 users facing the activation issues may need to restore with a Mac or PC to iOS 16.0.1 to fix the bug and fully activate their new devices.

The company has sent a memo to customers, saying “”there is a known issue for iOS 16 that may impact device activations on open Wi-Fi networks.”
