IPhone won't let me accept new iCloud terms and conditions

Same here, doesn't even work to restart the device. I also tried to log out and back in.

I'm gonna switch back to Android if there's no solution.

I have exclusively used Apple products since the 1980s after using Windows. IMO, Apple software, backward compatibility, software issues, and user interface experience is the worst its ever been. It’s gotten so bad over the years, I’m about to go another way.

I will say their hardware quality and reliability has been excellant; still have a functional 2011 Macbook.

Didn’t work

I had the same problem until just now. Went to software update and refreshed, version 18.1 appeared. Updated and was able to accept the T&C.

You need to update the software to v18 and then it will work 😊

I’ve just had the same problem with my Mums iPad. I’m thinking about getting her to go into the local Apple Store to see what they can do about it. If enough people do the same thing, that might actually get a response from them.

I appreciate that Apple has a "solution". For someone who prefers to wait before installing a major version update, however, this isn't a practical solution. 18.01 or even 18.1 have not quite gone through the "user testing" process (X.2 or X.3 are arguably more stable versions.)

Anyone who doesn't have the newer iPhone models won't benefit much from the bells and whistles of iOS 18. Apparently users whose phones don't have enough space can't even update.

Why doesn't Apple just put out a fix for this bug in a version 17.7.x?

Forcing users to upgrade (iOS or their iPhone) this way is a crappy way to bump up your install stats.

Hoping the iCloud services I do use will continue to function while waiting for a stable version. Sigh.

Update: A month long ordeal that left me with a fried phone and two days of lost work.

After going through multile support advisors, the answer is there is NO solution to fix the ios17 error. The only solution is to go to ios18.

That just made things worse. The phone which had been getting hot, got hotter. A visit to Apple store to get a new battery required three visits.

Then 2 weeks later - the entire phone. just kept shutting itself off over and over every minute or so rending it useless.

Visit to repair, they sent me to a second store to replace it. An ENTIRE 8 hour day to get my phone replaced, UNDER WARRANTY AND PAYING FOR APPLE CARE! And no offer of compensation for the time, highway tolls, gas, parking, and lost day of work. They barely even helped me at the store, and refused me access to the bathroom even though I am an older gray haired person... and I could not leave for 5 hours due to "data download" and they refused to help because of "customer data sensitivity." RIDICUOUS! If you buy a new laptop, they DO THE DATA TRANSFER FOR YOU! But not for the iphone!!! ??? Why??? Just a complete disaster.

I’ve updated my IPAD, but still am told that I cannot connect to ICLOUD-I cannot complete the action. This has been going on for at least three weeks, never changes. Seems lots of others are having the same issue, it should have been fixed by now.

SOLVED. After I updated to iOS 18 the issue resolved itself. Hope this works for you!

My phone is not supported when it comes to updating to iOS 18. Then I am screwed?

iCloud keeps telling me I need to sign in except their terms and conditions every time I do it says sorry we can’t do this right right now. This has been going on for two months.

Try This

Go to Settings and tap your name.

Scroll down to the bottom and click "Sign Out."

Turn on the data that you want to keep a copy of on your device.

Click "Sign Out."

Tap "Sign Out" again.

Sign back in.
