How to set up a new Apple iPhone SE with iTunes — Step 1/31

Before you can use your Apple iPhone SE, you will need to activate it. If you have access to a Wi-Fi network, you can connect and activate over Wi-Fi. Otherwise, you will need a computer and iTunes.

If you donʼt have iTunes on your computer, youʼll need to download and install it. In this example, weʼve used iTunes v12.5.1.

Please note: the steps may differ depending on the options selected. Simply follow the prompts on the Apple iPhone SE to complete the setup.
