iOS 14.8 network bug

Exactly the same problem - three of us updated the iPhone software (because of the security roll out). Two phones survived - one didn't (iPhone 7). No service appeared with the rolling bars. We've tried the sim cards that work in it, same issue. We've tried entirely resetting, same issue. We've spoken to Apple engineers, they've not been able to help (and failed to return calls when they said they would). We've now had to go and by a new phone... but really, really frustrated. This is an Apple issue - they've released something that has caused problems in lots of phones, and made them unusable.

I have a iPhone 7 I bought last year, and after update 14 something it no longer has a good LTE connection. Wifi only stays connected for 2 mins at home, at work it used to be great. But after last night something happened, now I no longer have a good connection. IOS 14.8 can't even be downloaded, and I have enough space. The wifi thing starts to circle trying to find a good connection, but nothing happens. I think they might've stopped service for iPhone 7 now.

The iPhone 7 was discontinued 2 years ago, so it is unlikely you bought a new iPhone 7. What was its previous history?

me and my husband have updated 14.8 after that me nor my husband can make phone call anymore.said error

no even cellular network

we are traveling out of the us we are stock ..need help . I have to keep contact with my family and my business

I was expecting that after iOS 15, my iPhone 7plus will recover and work normally. But, the news is no. Now I am thinking I should stop trusting Apple and stop expecting that Apple will solve our problems. I am now sure that the network connectivity is broken by Apple for sure for us to upgrade. But Apple please everyone don’t have same money as you are earning by selling your iPhones. I think you don’t know that your iPhone are too costly and we buy it because we thinks that you will not ask to upgrade for next 5years atleast. If you can’t fix old phones then please stop selling it to. No 4G connectivity really make me think you are not doing your jobs.

I buy iPhone 7plus last year too. Apple discontinued for sure from their websites. But many sellers still had the lots to sell. Because sellers buys from Apple and sometimes takes years to sell all phones. But warranty from Apple start from the date of open of pack so it’s still works I guess.

I also has the same issue with iPhone 11 pro after iOS 14.8 upgrade. I lost cellular immediately after upgrade. I would recommend apple should look into this issue. This seems to be happening to many users. It can not be coincident just after upgrade!

If you want Apple to look into it you will have to tell them. Use the Get Support link at the top of this page for help with the problem on your phone. There are over 1 billion iPhones; if this was a problem with even a small minority of them you would see thousands of posts, so what really has to happen is Apple has to look at your phone specifically to find out why this happened to your phone.

may be ios 15 fix this issue i m also facing on my 12 pro max after 5th day of installing ios 14.8 but in my case the primary cellular sim is not working but other cellular network is working i don't know what is happening after the update is it cellular issue or software issue?

I might add that in my case, wifi alternates with cellular. I.e. when wifi is on, there in no cellular connection, when I turn off wifi, LTE appears. None of the generic restart etc. works. Apple should be aware of the problem, but I'll happily file the 5zillion 740th report. These problems are so common with Apple that I'm wondering if it's still incompetence or something else.

My phone started shutting down and rebooting on its own. After updating to IOS 14.8 my phone is constantly "searching" for a carrier. I have rebooted my iPhone X, I have reset my network settings and even with a SIM card in my phone I have no access to service. After updating to IOS 15, still nothing. In my settings I don't even have "cellular data" anymore. My iPhone settings do not have carrier settings either. Any settings related to cellular service and cellular data are just completely gone from my phone. Additionally, it no longer charges even though my battery health is at 84%. It charges to 3% and then shuts down & reboots continuously until the 3% battery runs out.

This is exactly what happened to me after update to 14.8. This seems to be a larger bug in apple 14.8 which is creating this issue for some users. We have a recall for iPhone 7 due to similar issue.

Are you using a cell phone with a carrier or is it unlocked to be used with any carrier?

On my iPhone 12, updating to 14.8 showcases an error in Cellular Service and can only be used when connected to Wi-Fi. It continually searches for service.

no network data after downloading the ios 14.8

Yes. I never told I will not report. However thanks for you suggestion again.
