He iPhone is a device thatfrom the first ignition, always is optimized and ready to be used. However, over time this optimization is reduced to the point of having a need for restoration. For example, running out of space on the iPhone or in some update the iPhone does not end up starting correctly. Be for some problem or for maintenance recurring, today we will teach you the process of restoring the iPhone using a computer whether macOS or Windows.
Factors to take into account before restoring an iPhone
You should think if it is the right decision since restoring an iPhone installs the latest official version available on iOS. Besides all information on the device is completely deletedOf course, you can choose between making a backup or manually choosing files to save important information.
To be able to restore the iPhone you must deactivate “Find my iPhone”, make sure you have a good amount of battery to avoid interruptions in the process. Also don’t forget have a good internet connection since it will download the latest version of the operating system. Finally, the connection with the Lightning cable must be stable. Making sure that the cable is in good condition is crucial to this procedure as it is long in a matter of time.
A setting that must be activated yes or yes on any iPhone
Now let’s see two different ways to restore iPhone via Windows or Mac computer.
The difference is made by the download time of the iOS file
There is only one procedure to restore an iPhone but you can save some time if you choose to download the iOS file in ipsw format. From experience I have been able to verify that Apple’s update server tends to have slight intermittencies which produces more waiting time in the download. When I have had to perform emergency restores to friends or relatives I have downloaded the files from ipsw.me.
Either way is valid, only takes into account the server factor of Apple and the internet connection. Another important point is to know if the device is usable or not. In case you cannot use it you need to enter it in recovery mode. Now let’s start with the restoration.

Restoring an iPhone from computer
Connect your iPhone to the computer. If the iPhone is active you must confirm that you trust your computer to allow access.After verify in Finder or iTunes (depending on your computer and version of macOS) that the iPhone is already connected. Click on the name of your iPhone. You will see the main menu with important data such as capacity, serial number and phone number(s). Click on “Restore iPhone”.
Restore iPhone from Mac
If you already have the downloaded ipsw file press Shift key in Windows or Command key in macOS and press “Restore iPhone”. Select the downloaded file, click on open and confirm on Restore.
In both cases Apple will verify with its servers that the downloaded version (whether external or not) is the one indicated and then it will start the restoration process. To finish you must enter your Apple ID to activate the iPhone. The device will be like new.

Last notes to take into account in the restoration
The procedure may take time as the restore or ipsw file is around 7 GB. Said restoration requires an internet connection since Apple’s servers certify the iOS file. In recovery mode, if you activate it, you necessarily need the intervention of a computer, be it Windows or Mac.
If you have access to your iPhone, you don’t have any problems in its operation and you have a backup in iCloud or you don’t have a problem in losing information, here we teach you how to restore an iPhone from the iPhone.
Restore backup on iPhone
Is it good to use backup? Personally, to restore an iPhone I prefer to do it from 0. It is not very positive in the long term to drag files or internal files that will not do the iPhone any good. It is best to perform a manual backup of photos, files or any content of interest on the computer or an external disk in case the amount of information is handled in gigabytes.
If you have an essential app that you need to ensure a backup copy of, the crucial thing is that you can do it with iCloud. For example, WhatsApp allows the copy of chats through the Apple cloud. The best decision will be made by yourself.
