What is what to do when your iphone says iphone unavailable?

Okay, here's information about what to do when your iPhone says "iPhone Unavailable," formatted in Markdown with the requested links:

When your iPhone displays the "iPhone Unavailable" or "Security Lockout" message, it means you've entered the wrong passcode too many times. The screen will also show a timer, indicating how long you need to wait before you can try again. If you continue to enter the wrong passcode after the timer expires, your iPhone will become permanently locked, and you'll need to restore it.

Here's what you can do:

• Wait Out the Timer: If you see a timer, wait until it reaches zero before trying again. Make sure you carefully remember your passcode this time.

• Erase iPhone (If Available): On some newer iOS versions (iOS 15.2 and later), if you have an Apple ID signed in, you might see an "Erase iPhone" option on the "iPhone Unavailable" screen. Tapping this will allow you to erase your device and reset it, but you'll need your Apple%20ID%20password to proceed. This method requires an active internet connection.

• Recovery Mode: If you don't see the "Erase iPhone" option, you'll need to use Recovery%20Mode on your computer to restore your iPhone. This will erase all the data on your iPhone. Here's how:

  • Connect your iPhone to your computer with a USB cable.
  • Put your iPhone into Recovery Mode (the process varies depending on your iPhone model – search online for instructions specific to your iPhone model, such as "[iPhone%20model]%20Recovery%20Mode](https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/iPhone%20Model%20Recovery%20Mode)" and replace "[iPhone%20model]" with your specific model).
  • On your computer, open Finder (on macOS Catalina and later) or iTunes (on macOS Mojave and earlier, or on Windows).
  • You should see a message saying that there is a problem with your iPhone and offering to "Restore" or "Update." Choose "Restore."
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your iPhone. This will download the latest iOS software and erase your device.

• After Restoring: After restoring your iPhone, you can restore your data from a recent Backup (either iCloud or computer backup). If you don't have a backup, you'll need to set up your iPhone as new.

Important Considerations:

• Restoring your iPhone will erase all data.
• Make sure you know your Apple ID and password, as you'll need it to reactivate your iPhone after restoring.
• Regularly back up your iPhone to avoid data loss in situations like this.
