iOS Recovery Mode is a special state that allows an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to be restored or updated when it encounters issues. This mode is useful for troubleshooting problems like software crashes or failed updates. When a device is in Recovery Mode, it can communicate with iTunes or Finder to reinstall the operating system. To enter Recovery Mode, users typically need to press a combination of buttons specific to their device model. Once in this mode, users can choose to restore the device to factory settings or update the software, helping to resolve various operational issues.
