We know how you feel when your iPhone gets disabled out of nowhere and you can no longer access your device. On top of that, the error “iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes” is quite infuriating. So, if you are facing the same issue with your iPhone, worry not, we are here to help you out.

Let’s first see why the “iPhone is Disabled” error occurs

Apple has never left any stone unturned in ensuring the implementation of the safest and the most secured features. Due to this reason, the error has become quite famous among Apple users. And the reasons are mentioned below:

1. Entering the Wrong Passwords Multiple Times: Inputting the wrong passcodes five times? Not a problem. But wrong passcode after the fifth attempt can seriously land you in trouble since the time to reopen the iPhone increases after each wrong attempt, that is, reaches from 1 minute in the sixth attempt to 60 minutes in the 9^th

   And yes, you guessed it right! After one more failed attempt, it shows – “iPhone is Disabled, Connect to iTunes”.

2. When the iPhone Screen is Damaged: Even if the screen is damaged it develops ghost touch, that is, the screen starts doing things on its own. In such a case, it enters incorrect passwords automatically, and things go south with your iPhone.
