Esim Failure Iphone14

I have a US version of Iphone14. Moved to S. Korea with the phone. I used it for about 3 months and it started having an issue "esim failure". Went to Apple and contacted carrier but no one knows why or how to fix the issue. Apparently many others who has iphone14 in S. Korea having the same problem with esim. Carrier made it clear that this is not network problem, therefore, no action will be taken.


What can I do to actually use my phone ?? Anyone who might have had the same issue but fixed magically??

hi, if it is a carrier problem, it should work when I change the carrier or use it outside of Korea with local carriers right? Well, I am in Spain, got an esim for Spanish carrier and it still doesn’t work- same problem is existing. This seems like clear defect of the iphone14 US version to me regardless what the diagnostics told me.
