Loss of Cell Connectivity After IOS 16.3 … - Apple Community

Yes!

Tried resetting network settings: worked for a few hours then problem returned

Tried resetting phone with erase all contents and settings, but problem returned

Called apple and they said to try full restore, plugged into Itunes. Waiting to see if it holds. 

Seems Verizon needed to release a carrier update but didn't, and the new IOS can't negotiate with their network very well. apple blames verizon, verizon blames apple. BTW I pulled the sim and put it into another phone with IOS 16.2, and it worked perfectly, so its NOT the sim, or the verizon account that is the issue. It is a fight between the new IOS 16.3 and the cell phone networks.

It was sitting on my nightstand the night it updated the next morning. My phone wasn’t work and it hasn’t worked since Apple tells me it’s something to do with the hardware inside the phone, but AT&T says it’s not the phone that they tested it and it has proper connections to everything, Apple told me there’s nothing they can do for it so I got a $600 paper weight.
