I have an iPhone XR that I haven’t used in a couple months and need now, however when I went to setup after it had been wiped months ago. it says “unable to activate, iPhone needs an update to active” and only give me the option of shutting the phone off, how do I fix this considering I’m not able to activate the phone to update it?

If your iPhone can't be activated or an alert says the activation server is unavailable or the SIM card is unsupported, learn what to do.

Before you begin.

If you get an error message that says "No SIM" or "Invalid SIM," learn what to do.
Check the list on the System Status page. If the box by iOS Device Activation isn't green, try to activate your iPhone later.
If asked to enter your password as you activate your iPhone, enter the password. (A password prompt means that Activation Lock might be enabled in Find My iPhone.)
