Fix "Verification Failed" Issue on iPhone iCloud is a wonderful service provided by Apple, which allows users to securely store Photos, Videos, Contacts, Notes, Documents and more on iCloud. Better yet, those contents will be kept up to date with iCloud and allowed to share on different devices. Personally, I'm used to enabling auto backup service on iCloud and letting it automatically back up my files (because I'm lazy and it's all automatic). However, sometimes, users might fail to connect to iCloud or pass the verification. Let's see a real case I found on Apple Communities. I keep getting "iCloud Verification Failed. The request timed out" when I'm doing a backup on my iPhone 6s at home over Wi-Fi. I tried to re-log in a couple of times, but still failed. Anyone knows what's going on? Why it happened? Any ideas? Knowing the causes is always the beginning to start solving the problem. So let's check out what cause the issue and how to fix "iCloud Connection" problem.
