You’ll be able to use an iPhone to wirelessly restore an iPhone 16

by

iOS 18 has a new feature that allows you to wirelessly restore an iPhone 16 to another iPhone or iPad. 9to5Mac reports.

9to5Mac says it was able to simulate the new recovery method. “If the iPhone 16 goes into recovery mode for any reason, users can essentially just place it next to another iPhone or iPad to start the firmware recovery,” it says in 9to5Mac“The other device downloads a new iOS firmware and pushes it to the locked device.”

Apparently any device running iOS 18 can perform the restore, but only the iPhone 16 series phones can actually be restored using this method. You can already use an iPhone to wirelessly restore an Apple Watch or Apple TV, so it's nice that a similar feature is available for the iPhone as well.
