Hello Maaz71,


I'm sorry to hear that your device isn't able to activate. No worries i'm here to help!


What to do?

  • Connect your iPhone to your computer/mac. Make sure that if you're on windows that you have windows installed.
  • On your computer you should get a notification saying "Software update available for this iPhone", Then click the Install button
  • After its been updated then proceed with your setup.


Check here for more info if needed: If your Mac says that a software update is required to connect to iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Hope this helps!
