What you need
Steps
Power on the phone and follow the on-screen setup. Sign in with your Apple Account and connect to Wi-Fi so apps and photos can restore.
Confirm the phone is actually new. Open Settings, then General, then About, and check the model and serial number match the box.
Open Settings, then Battery, then Charging, and turn on the 80 percent limit if you want the battery to last longer.
Open Settings, then Camera, then Formats, and pick a resolution and ProRAW option that fits how much storage you have.
In the Camera app, tap the lens switcher and drag the lens you use most into the main slot so it opens first.
Set up the Action Button in Settings, then Action Button, and assign it to Camera, Flashlight, Voice Memo or a Shortcut.
Adjust Camera Control in Settings, then Camera, then Camera Control, and choose what a light press and a swipe do.
Open Settings, then Face ID and Passcode, and add an alternate appearance so unlocking works with glasses or a hat.
Delete apps you will not use. Long press an app icon, tap Remove App, then Delete App, and repeat for the rest.
Tips and common mistakes
Charge with a certified USB-C cable and adapter to avoid slow charging or heat.
Turn off notifications for apps you do not need so the phone stays quiet.
Check the serial number on Apple's coverage page before the return window closes.
Keep the camera lens switcher clean so taps register on the right lens.
Questions
How do I restore my new iPhone from a backup?
During setup, choose Transfer Data or Restore from iCloud or Mac when prompted. Keep the phone on Wi-Fi and plugged in until it finishes.
Should I turn on the 80 percent charge limit?
It slows battery wear if you charge overnight or keep the phone plugged in a lot. Turn it off before a long day away from a charger.
What does the Action Button do by default?
It can be set to silent mode, Camera, Flashlight, Voice Memo, Translate or a Shortcut. You change it in Settings under Action Button.
