iPhone 14 Mobile Data Not Working - Network Issues I recently bought an iPhone 14 pro. Randomly I lose the cellular data connection but it still displays as 4g connected. I can only access the internet after restarting my phone. I tried turning data/airplane mode on and off as well but didn’t work. This has happened to me 3 times in the course of 4 days since buying the phone. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

iPhone 13 drops BOTH WiFi and cellular connection overnight My iPhone 13 is dropping both the WiFi and cellular connection overnight. It occurs at home and at work (I work 48 hr shifts) so it’s not isolated to one location. Every morning I have to shutdown and restart. Simply switching airplane mode, WiFi or cellular does not resolve. It requires a full shutdown. Running iOS 16.1.2

When you are using data on your iPhone, then you can only be connected to the Cellular Network OR the Wi-Fi Network. You cannot be connected to both networks at the same time.

If you feel that I have misunderstood your question, then provide some clarification on your post with details. Thanks.
