Let me guess diversity intern ? You should be fine if you are

 

we use outlook and i have BYOB and they told us to not download any microsoft apps on out phones.
I know i totally understand that it's a mistake from my part i just don't know what to do right now to fix it.

I wouldn't worry about it - you're going to make far bigger mistakes through your career.  Not trolling, the stakes get higher and even top MDs make mistakes but theirs is more like 'why did I take this buyside mandate that took all my resources and forced my juniors to quit and we're nowhere close to hitting the bid'

 

It's your first week, stuff happens. Expectations are very low for interns, and the things you mentioned are pretty normal even for top-performing ones. 

The important thing now is not to make the same mistakes again. The learning curve is steep, but they want you to show that you are progressing. As long as you do that, you'll be fine. Maybe you won't work with the same analysts again, but you'll have plenty other opportunities to win other people on your side. Do not stress and enjoy the journey!

 

You're fine. Apologize in person. Then go to the tech center first thing Monday and get your phone set up - either get a temp phone or gert yourself situated on your current phone. generally for 1 thing like this that you apologize for... people are not looking to ruin your return offer for this. 

The other analyst is no big deal, interns are expected to make unlimited numbers of mistakes in early work especially in week 1. Showing improvement is much more important.

1. Don't worry - if you are good, one little slip up isn't going to matter. Just make sure it doesn't happen again and keep your eye on the ball. Continue to be a helpful resource to the team and by the end they won't even remember this, unless you yourself make a big deal out of it.

2. Strange you don't have a corporate phone with outlook? Maybe depends on the firm

3. I recently started a YT channel, if you are serious about continuing to be in IBD and getting up to speed / coming back as a strong Analyst, I'll have a ton of vids on turning the real IBD world inside out (you'll find a lot of the other channels are run by folks who only did a summer or analyst stint, or not even IBD like WM at GS). Hope this can be a helpful resource for you
