You may recall when iOS 10 launched, some users experienced a crash, which sent their iPhones and iPads directly into Recovery mode during the installation process. It was reported as happening again to some in iOS 11 (though to a much smaller degree). There was no alarm of it happening in iOS 12, and it's not likely to happen this year, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared for the possibility. If for any reason, your iPhone or iPad goes into Recovery mode during, before, or after installing iOS 13, these steps will still help you.

NOTE: You'll need to be able to connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer so you can access the Recovery tools in iTunes. If you don't have a computer, you'll have to find someone who does or visit an Apple Store and have a technician help you.

What is Recovery mode?

If your screen is all black with just an illustration of a Lightning cable plugging into the iTunes logo, it means your device is in Recovery Mode.

You can manually put your iPhone or iPad into Recovery mode if you're having a problem with a download or installation. However, this particular issue sends your iPhone or iPad directly into Recovery Mode without your prompting, which can be frightening for someone that's never even heard of the feature.

Don't stress. I know what to do. Recovery Mode is actually a very helpful feature. Most of the time, you can manually follow the steps to installing your software from this screen by following the steps below.
