Hey there yardobeer,

We understand your new iPhone is stuck showing that it may take a few minutes to activate, but will not progress past that screen. We'll be happy to help.

To help troubleshoot issues with activation, we'd like to have you go through the steps here: If you can't activate your iPhone

This will guide you through a a few things like restarting, connecting to Wi-Fi, and checking the System Status page.

However, if the issue persists, reach out to Apple directly and they can look further into this with you. Use this link: Get Support

We hope this helps. Cheers!
