Has anyone got a fix successfully? I started getting sim failure (running ios14.6) 4 days ago. On 3rd day when I got to apple store appointment, the phone worked perfectly. So they could only gave a bunch of BS suggestions. And refused to address the issue.

A day later, the sim failure came back.

extremely frustrating!!

I haven’t come across any posting with apple admitting that this is a known issue related to their iOS.

What can I do? It’s iPhone 11 Pro, and the warranty has expired. :(
