The most common reason you'll encounter the "Connect to iTunes" screen on your phone or tablet is after entering an incorrect password too many times, which usually results in a "disabled" message. However, there are other iOS problems that can cause your iPhone to stop functioning properly, including hardware issues. This is the worst-case scenario, as most of the offered iPhone repair solutions may not work in the end. It's estimated that only about 1-3% of devices fall into this category. The majority of issues may stem from the device not being updated sufficiently, which can also lead to complications like an iCloud Activation Lock.
