Restoring the iPhone I'm trying to restore my iPhone 7 in the Finder app on my mac, but my problem is that I can't download the 5.40-gigabyte update within 15 minutes due to my poor internet connection so the iPhone would automatically exit the restore mode and turn on, can anyone help me with this problem?

Restore does not work because of time-out Did the steps to Restore my old iPhone5s but it seems that it takes too long to download the update software to Restore the device. It simply breaks off the Restore and Update task. How can I only Restore the iPhone without the downloading?

Restore iPhone X seems to be stuck at downloading software I have an iPhone X in recovery mode connected to my MacBook and I attempted to do the update process which had failed so I then done the restore process which it shows that it is downloading software for the restore process to my MacBook but then shuts down and does nothing on my MacBook or my iPhone X. What do I need to do. This all began when the iPhone X was going through a software update and never turned back on. It just shows and flashes the apple logo. We have done the hard reset as well. I would like to get this iPhone X fixed because it’s not an old phone and we would really like to use it for a backup phone in case something happens to any of our iPhone 13’s that we have now. What would the next process be if the restore process doesn’t complete?

Welcome to Apple Support Community!

Your device will stay in recovery mode for 15 minutes.

Your Mac or PC should continue to download the software for your iPhone

If you device restarts out of recovery mode....you will just have to put the device back into recovery mode.

Hope this helps ;)
