The iPhone 14 might experience iMessage and FaceTime activation issues on release date, but Apple has fixes in place already.
The iPhone 14 series started shipping on Friday around the world. The markets part of Apple’s first launch waves will also let buyers purchase one of the three new iPhone 14 models in stores on Friday — the Plus variant only ships in a few weeks. But the iPhone 14 release date also brings iMessage and FaceTime issues.
Customers setting up their new iPhone 14 flavors might run into problems with the two popular services. Luckily, Apple is aware of the activation problems and has a fix that iPhone 14 buyers can use immediately.
The iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max are the three new iPhones shipping on Friday. Regardless of the model you’ve just purchased, you must go through the same setup process.
Current iPhone users who are upgrading their handsets already know what that entails. You’re practically moving the entire contents of the old phone to the new one.
Consumers who purchased their first iPhone will go through the first iPhone setup.
