What is the iPhone 15's Apple logo of death error and how can you fix it?

On the iPhone 15, Apple warns that data transfers from your previous iPhone could fail due to a bug found in the iOS 17 version. If it happens, your new iPhone will be stuck with the Apple logo and fail to complete the transfer. This issue, however, has been resolved in iOS 17.0.2.

Updating to the latest iOS version is suggested by the company during the initial setup of your new iPhone, prior to data transfer. However, some owners have voiced their complaints, stating that they were not alerted about the option to update and, therefore, missed installing the latest version.

During the iPhone setup, if you skip the installation of the newest iOS update, follow these steps to fix the error:

• With a USB-C cable, link your latest iPhone to a computer.
• Quickly press and release the volume-up button.
• The volume-down button should also be pressed and then released.
• Subsequently, press and hold the side button.
• Don't let go of the button until you see the Apple logo.
• Locate your new iPhone on your computer, whether it be in iTunes or in the Finder.
• When given the choice of updating or restoring, opt for the latter.

Without transferring data, you now have the choice to set up your new iPhone afresh. After that, restore your phone, install the iOS 17.0.2 update from the Settings app, complete the setup process, and transfer data from your old phone.

Your iPhone 15 might be stuck on the Apple logo due to hardware issues, even after attempting the aforementioned solutions. It's recommended that you reach out to Apple Support or bring your device to an authorized repair center. These experts will guide and assist you in repairing your iPhone that is frozen on the Apple logo.
