Hello Viyanga,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

I understand from your post that when setting up your new iPhone you are receiving an error saying "verification failed there was an error connecting to the Apple ID server." The following article has steps that may resolve this type of error:

Get help with iCloud - Apple Support

I get an “authentication failed” message when I try to sign in with my Apple ID during iCloud setup on my iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Go to your Apple ID account page and try to sign in. If you can't sign in, follow the steps provided there to reset your Apple ID account password.

Best Regards.
