"Hello" Screen After Every Reboot

I've some users that receive the "hello" every time the phone restarts after updating to iOS 14.6.


Any ideas?

Here's all the data I can provide for our environment


Setting up as a new device works just fine, even without doing it via DFU. Just a simple factory reset "fixed" the issue - but setting up the phone as new wasn't a valid option for us because most of our users have been here for years and cannot lose all the data on their phones. Restoring from their backup, either via iTunes or iCloud just brought the issue right back.


The issue occurred when setup steps were skipped during the enrollment of phones running versions of iOS prior to 14.6 (in our case 14.2) and then were later upgraded to 14.6. We use MobileIron and were skipping the following steps during setup:


Location Services

Move from Android

Sign in to AppleID and iCloud

Siri

Send Diagnostic Information

Apple Pay

Zoom

Display Tone

Home Button Setup

iCloud Storage

Privacy

iMessage and Facetime

Mandatory Software Update

Get Started


Rather than toggling these on/off one at a time and testing which was the culprit, we just re-enabled them all. After that, the upgrade from 14.2 to 14.6 went just fine on new phones.




Anyway, I just confirmed with three additional users that upgrading to 14.7 has resolved the issue - so it looks like whatever it was has been fixed.
