It happened again. My iPhone say iOS v26.5 software update complete
again from two weeks ago after I manually rebooted it? This was after
showing Hello screen and manually connecting to a wifi AP (still
remembers the password for my home wifi router). Also, it had to
activate and log into my Apple account to unlock my iPhone. My old 12
mini also told me that a new device was just added for FaceTime right
after I logged into my Apple account. This was the second time it ever
did this since I got this new iPhone 17 from March 2026. I never had
this problem happened with my 12 mini, 6+, and 4S before my 17. Is this
normal for the newer iPhone models? Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Hello,

Yesterday's afternoon, I upgraded my iPhone 17's iOS v26.3.1 (a) to
v26.4 on my wifi after making a local iTunes back up in my 64-bit W10
Pro. PC. Everything was fine until about 30 minutes ago, I noticed my
Wi-Fi calling wasn't connected even though enabled in iOS' Settings' Cellular's options. I disabled and enabled, but it still didn't fix it.
So I decided to power off (swipe top down and hold down top right corner
to finger swipe right method) and power on my iPhone. I got its Welcome screen again like yesterday's iOS v26.4 upgrade. And then, it told me to activate my iPhone with VZW and then relogin into my Apple ID account.

What the heck? Did anyone else run into this after upgrading and
required rebooting iOS v26.4 and doing a power off and on to reboot
iPhone? I tried to reproduce it again, but it didn't happen again.

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

Sounds more like a factory reset than a simple off-and-on reboot.
