Hello!

Thanks for reaching the community!


If I may ask, were you previously having issues with cellular? The only reason why I ask is that certain model iPhone 7s, particularly models A1660, A1780, A1779, have issues where a chip on the Main Logic Board fails, causing issues with cellular.


One of the symptoms of this issue is that the phone shows a "No Service" or "Searching" message in the status bar. When you restore the phone, it also says that it cannot activate.


This link from Apple explains a little more about the issue, and how to get it fixed.
