How to Successfully Set Up a New IPhone

In this presentation, we will demonstrate how to set up an iPhone for novices. We wanted to allow the end user to successfully setup their new iPhone without difficulty. The iPhone that will be used in this demonstration is the new iPhone 13 Mini that runs on IOS 15. After opening the box, you can insert your SIM card in the appropriate tray which is located on the bottom left side of your new iPhone. You may also have a SIM card pre-installed depending on which iPhone option you bought. To open the tray, you can use a small needle-like object or the tool that comes in the box to push the hole on the side. Pull the SIM card tray out and position the SIM card in the correct position and reinsert the tray. A SIM card is what allows for cellular connectivity meaning it allows your iPhone to make calls, receive calls and connect to the internet. It has a gold-like appearance on one side and the other has the carrier’s name. All right get ready to learn how to set up your new iPhone!
