We can commence by pressing down the power button at the top edge of your new iPhone. You may need to hold it down for a couple of seconds until you notice a vibration, which means that the iPhone is booting up.

2. Select the language of choice – English is at the top of the list to make it easy to find, however, if you want to apply a particular language, scroll down to look for your desired language and tap your choice of language.

3. Choose your country - United States of America may be at the top of the list. In case you can't find it, scroll down the list and tap the country of your choice.

A tick sign shows you are connected, and a wireless image appears at the top of the display screen. The iPhone will now begin activation with Apple automatically. This can take some time!

9. If you're setting up Touch ID, the instruction on display will guide you through the setup steps. Put your finger on the home button, then remove or replace your finger on the button till the iPhone has correctly scanned your fingerprint. When your fingerprint is thoroughly scanned, you will see a screen telling you that touch identification is successful. Tap Continue.

10. You'll be requested to input a passcode to secure your iPhone. In case you set up Touch ID, you must use a passcode if in any case your fingerprint isn't recognized. Securing your data is a fantastic concept, and the iPhone gives you several options. Tap password option to select your lock method.

11. You can set a Custom Alphanumeric Code (that's a password that uses letters and numbers), a Custom Numeric Code (digit mostly useful, however as many digits as you want!) or a 4-Digit Numeric Code (a great old school pin!). In case you didn't install or set up Touch ID you may also have a choice to don't add Password. Tap on your preferred Security option.

12. I suggest setting up a 4-digit numeric code, or Touch ID for safety reasons but all optional set up are done similarly. Simply input your chosen Password using the keyboard.

13. Verify your Password by entering it again. If the entered Password does not match, you will be requested to do it again! If they do match, you'll go on to the next display automatically.
