Why cant I sign into my apple ID on my new iphone

I upgraded my iphone 8 to a 12 when I changed cellular service providers. After the iphone updated it prompted me to sign into my apple id again for some service to work properly. When I do so though, the phone never verifies my ID it just spins saying its working forever. What can I do?

If you are the owner or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.


If you are not the owner and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password with you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their apple ID.
