I am not able to start up my iPhone 7 because it keeps telling me "Unable to Activate" "An update is required to activate your iPhone" and I tried to go to apple support but they weren't much of a help. I don't know what to do.

Getting Around this Error:

  1. Go Here: If you can't Activate your iPhone - Apple Support
  2. As it Reads: 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.
