Yeah; Terse replies can be correct for some interpretations, and can be incorrect for other and potentially unintended interpretations. Text is like that. I too wondered whether your reply was “buy a new computer”, or “buy a new iPhone”, as the broken charger isn’t the fundamental issue here. It’s having no computer available to reset a stuck iPhone.

if your iPhone is showing a restore screen as inferred from the Related Article linked above, your options are to use or to borrow a Mac or Windows PC for the reset, or to contact Apple Support or an Apple authorized repair provider and ask them perform the reset.


To contact Apple, use the Support link in the lower left corner of this webpage, and chat or call as available.
