iPhone 12 mini problem: Network Connectivity

I have an iPhone 12 mini, 400 days old. All of sudden it stopped connecting to cellular network.

This is weird because it was working fine at night and next day I did not receive any calls or text and then I realized that there is no network.

I tried everything:

  • Changed the sim (All the sims I tried are working in other phones
  • Restarted
  • Updated software
  • Reset all setting
  • Reset whole phone
  • Went to Genius Bar and even they couldn't fix it.


Messed up part is that I am 30 days past my warranty. $400 + tax to fix it.


Did not expect a bad product and bad service from Apple. Not the same anymore

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 15
