UNABLE TO ACTIVATE I factory reset my iphone after I got an "cellular issues detected" error in my network settings. Now when I try to set up my iphone, I select the language, select the country, it asks me to connect to wifi, and then it says Unable to activate and then ask me to shutdown the phone. I put the phone in recovery mode and connected it to itunes. When connected to itunes it attempts to update the phone. After this it attempts to restore the phone and then I get an error message as shown in the screenshot attached. and yes I have inserted the sim and re connected. nothing worked. My sim worked fine in the phone until randomly one day just stopped connecting to the network. Apple support suggest that its an issue with my carrier and my carrier suggest it is a device issue. However my sim worked fine in an old spare phone.

Iphone XR unable to activate after updating to IOS 18 My XR recently updated to IOS 18 automatically and it somehow reset my iphone and I'm back to the set up screen. But after configuring the network, screen says unable to activate - an update is required to activate your iphone. I tried restarting the device, tried connecting to itunes on my Windows laptop but I get the same error - Iphone could not be activated because the activation information could not be obtained from the device. My sim doesn't work either. I don't think my phone can detect the sim card even when it's properly inserted.

That would mean most likely it’s it has a hardware failure related to iPhone 7 Repair Program for "No Service" Issues - Apple Support

The problem is the No Service message.
