Chosen Solution
My wife’s beloved 6s Plus shows the black cable-to-MacBook Air screen with the restore URL. I followed the power/home button instructions with no joy. Most online recommendations involve using iTunes, but of course, iTunes is gone. Clearly screen works, and logic board works enough to show Apple logo (but then goes back to restore). Is this something that can be fixed by some magic reboot process or do I need to replace components? My guess is those components would be either the logic board or the lightning port, or both. Any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks! Update (04/28/2022) So I managed to get the phone to connect to the Finder (I downloaded and tried launching the latest iTunes build, but that didn’t work). Unfortunately, I only got partially into the restore, and it’s been stuck at 2-3% for 12 hours. So is this a hardware issue? If so, what needs replacing. The Lightning port obviously works. I could replace the logic board, but it looks like iFixit only sells 16GB units and my wife’s phone is a 128GB unit, so that might be an issue. Any suggestions?
You should try to restore go to the ipows.me download your phone version open iTunes and connect your phone to the laptop then click the shift button and chose update will open window select the version you have downloaded and wait until finishing ithink it will fix
