Very disappointed on upgrading the iOS. Possible to make it simple and stupid.

Please provide the solution as soon as possible.

Greetings phchua,


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!


I understand that after updating your iPhone to iOS 9.3, your current Apple ID and password are not working to activate your device. In some cases, the hint that you see on the Activate iPhone screen may not match your current Apple ID.


We know that this situation can be frustrating, but we’re here to help. To troubleshoot this situation and work towards resolving it, please read over and follow the steps from the following article.

Thanks for reply.


After I few try on download iOS 9.2.1 and installed on iPhone and iPad. Still the same, " xxx@xxx.com cannot be used to unlock this device". I don't want to waste my time for further troubleshoot. Not understand why Apple want this verification until the basic function of "phone call" also disable. Is a phone and iCloud is optional. All my information was locked in the phone and ipad. Loss all of my important data and business information. How about reformat all so that I can sell off.


Is my fault to put all the trust on this kind of product. Is the time to look form alternative.


Thanks
