iphone disabled fix without itunes

Can I enable a disabled iphone XR without using iTunes? Itunes is not installed on my computer and has to be authorized by my disabled iphone before I can use it. How do I fix my phone?

No. The one, and the only way to reset a disabled device is to restore it in iTunes on a Windows or Mac computer. Or use finder if using a Mac running MacOS Catalina or Big Sur. There are no alternatives.


If you use recovery mode you don’t have to “trust” the iPhone to restore it.
