iPhone keeps saying "no sim available" after IOS 16.5 update.

June 26, 2023.

Started for me after 16.5.1 update. At least two or three times a day. Restart gets me back up.

I hope Apple is on this. It’s NOT something I want to deal with if there’s a situation where I need my phone immediately.

Happening to me as well. All over the last week. It mostly seems to occur over night and when I wake up in the monring and grab my phone I can't get texts or calls. Or make calls. I have to shut my phone down and restart it. Very annoying.

i switched to an E sim after having this issue with a physical one. fixed for about 4-6 months but then 3 months ago started doing the same thing. “No sim card detected” and imessage doesnt work until i go into settings and turn on imessage again. It isnt a huge deal but its super inconvienent

I am having this message “no simcard and “SOS” displays on the screen every now and then after updating to IOS 16.5.

Unfortunately I already did all that. Just shy of doing a full wipe of my phone and erasing everything.

Have you gotten a new SIM from your carrier?

This is happening to me too. Started this morning. I updated to iOS 16.5.x a day or 2 ago and I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Hope there’s a fix soon.

So am I, and yes it was after the new IOS update

That would be true if employees all over the city didn’t have the same problem at the same time. People 50 miles away calling in to report the same thing.

I am currently experiencing this. My carrier told me that now have to find time to go to their store and pay for a new sim as this is "not their fault". she actually laughed at me when i questioned why i not only have to find time to come in there for her to fix something that is not my fault, but also pay for this? She then laughed and told me it wasnt Verizon's fault either and if she wants me to fix it I will have to pay. I let her know that it sounds like i have no other choice at this point and hung up. GRR.

Again, if this was the company you work for and it happened at multiply company sites, it means that something went wrong with a system that your company has. It happens. If it had happened to everyone who had an iPhone, it would have been huge news.

Again, maybe I’ll type it slower to help people understand.

Both privately owned AND business owned.

Work phone in my pocket, and my personal in my car.

Personal phones are not managed by the company.

Multiply this times hundreds of people in different areas / different cell towers / different carriers / different makes and models.

iOS 17.1 is a flop.

As of last night I also cannot use the remote app on my iPhone(s) to connect to any of the Apple TV’s in my house either.

If there had been some massive failure of iPhones, it would be in the news. Something local, specific to your company's physical locations, perhaps, seems to have had a glitch.

Is your ATV connected to ethernet? Or WiFi?

For those, like myself, who experience this issue, I’m curious who have as your wireless service. Mine is Verizon.

While we have reason to suspect this is an Apple issue; it would be helpful to identify the iPhone type model, current iOS version and, most critically, the wireless carrier (e.g., “iPhone 13 Pro,” “iOS 17.1.2,” “Verizon”)
