Apple ID verification issues can be frustrating when setting up a new device, but there are steps to resolve them. The problem might be on Apple's part or an issue on the user's end, with their devices or network. A system status checker is available online that indicates which systems are up and running smoothly and which are encountering problems. If the issue is on Apple's part, waiting for their support team to respond may help. In other cases, network connectivity issues can lead to problems signing into an Apple ID. Updating iOS, signing out and back in, restarting the device, disconnecting from and reconnecting to the network, and trying to disconnect from a VPN can resolve some of these issues. SMS verification is also a great option, offering security, ease, and affordability. However, it's not foolproof and may have drawbacks such as SIM swapping and hacking risks. Setting up an API for SMS verification is a simple 4-step process that simplifies the process and brings benefits to users.
