Setting Up a New iPhone or iPad for the First Time: Step by Step From “Hello” to Your Home Screen

About Course

A new iPhone or iPad asks a lot of questions when you first switch it on. This course walks you through each screen in plain English – choosing bigger text, joining Wi-Fi, setting a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, and signing in with your Apple Account – so you can set it up calmly and safely, on your own or with a family member beside you.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider and is not connected with Apple. This course gives general guidance based on Apple’s published help pages. Screens can vary between models and software versions; check Apple Support if something looks different.
