Some Activation Issues Have Been Fixed

31 July 2026

Yesterday, we received a report that an iPad (3rd generation), model A1430, was successfully activated.

We then contacted several people who had previously experienced these activation issues, encouraging them to try activating their devices again. Everyone we spoke to reported that the activation was successful.

We are now aware of at least six successful activations on the same model (iPad3,3, model A1430), and we are confident that Apple has resolved the activation issue affecting this specific model.

If you have previously experienced this issue, it may be worth trying to activate your device again.

Although this is a relatively small improvement, it is an encouraging sign that the issue may also be resolved for other affected devices in the future.

But for now, any device listed below are still known to be affected by activation issues, and we do not encourage people to restore, or reset their devices.

• Devices with an A8 or A8X chip running iOS 8 to iOS 10.0.1
• Devices with an A9 or A9X chip running any version of iOS 9
• Devices with an A5, A5X, A6 or A6X chip whose IMEI begins with 9900 and whose region code is LL/A (this can be identified from the device model number)
• Cellular models of iPad (1st generation) and iPad 2
• iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4 models with the identifiers iPhone3,1 and iPhone3,2
• Devices running iOS 9.3 (builds 13E233 or 13E234)

That's all for now. If you have any questions, please contact us at apkipasave@gmail.com.
