Cellular data issues iPhone 7

Just updated my iPhone to iOS 14.6. Everything worked with that EXCEPT for the fact that I can’t get my cellular data anymore…. Says I need to update but I’ve gotta the sweat update. Very frustrated and really not wanting to buy a new phone just yet. HELP. iPhone 7.

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Go to Settings/General/About and look at Modem Firmware. Is the entry blank? If it is you need to reinstall it by restoring the phone to factory settings, then restoring a backup. Back up the phone first, of course:

  1. How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
  3. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support


If the modem firmware DOES have a value you may have a hardware problem. The first step is what I just posted, but after that you need to contact Apple support using the Get Support link at the top of this page.
