I just backed up my old iPhone 8 to my Mac because I purchased a 12. My computer had to update a software in order to read the phone. When done, I disconnected and my iPhone 8 was stuck on the apple screen. I tried the remedy listed on apple suppo

Any suggestions to get the phone back working? I did the suggestions on the apple support page and it did not change anything.

I do need to delete all my info on the phone anyway so any suggestion is appreciated.


iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, sunnyinaz!


We understand your iPhone is stuck on the Apple logo after backing it up to your Mac. We'd be happy to provide information to help you address this.


Does your Mac still detect the iPhone when it's connected? If so, you should be able to restore it to factory settings using iTunes or Finder: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings

If you Mac isn't detecting it, follow the steps here: If your computer doesn't recognize your iPhone, iPad, or iPod


Have a great day!
