iPhone Disabled Connect to iTunes - But iTunes is GONE!?

So my phone locked itself. It’s telling me to connect to iTunes.. but Apple killed iTunes, so I can’t. What the **** am I supposed to do? And why is Apple so stupid to kill iTunes, update their OS, and yet this “connect to iTunes” message is still programmed into the phone?!

I’m beyond frustrated here. Any help would be appreciated.

Please note that downloading a fresh copy of your iPhone operating system will take some time, so be patient with it and you may need to repeat the steps again if it goes back to the iPhone is disabled screen after 15 mins.
