Are you excited about upgrading to the new iPhone 16 Pro? While Apple ensures a smooth data transfer process from your old phone to the new one, some users have encountered a setup hiccup with the latest iPhone lineup.

Over the weekend, I eagerly unboxed my new iPhone 16 Pro and began the setup process. Everything was going well until I hit a roadblock while transferring my phone number.

Users of iPhone 16 Pro models are facing touch screen glitches – read about the issue here.

I found myself stuck on a screen indicating “Cellular setup complete,” with the progress bar greyed out and a perpetual loading symbol. Despite waiting for 40 minutes, there was no progress. It turns out that many others were experiencing the same issue with iPhone 16 models, as I discovered in an Apple Community thread.

One user suggested a simple fix – holding down the power and volume up buttons to restart the phone. Skeptical but desperate, I gave it a try. Much to my surprise, the restart resolved the setup glitch, and my iPhone 16 Pro resumed the setup process seamlessly.
