SIM Card Failure after iOS 17 Update

My iPhone 13 updated to iOS 17.2, its giving me a sim card failure issue, I have tried force restart, airplane mode, re-inserting the sim but the issue doesn't get resolved. My sim is a 4G sim. Any suggestion please

I had the same issue when updating my iPhone 13 to IOS 17.2.1. I had no 4G connection when it powered up. I tried taking the SIM out and putting it back in and turning Airplane mode off and on but neither resolved the issue. I had to switch my SIM to my work phone (android), let it power up but still it doesn’t work in it. Pls give any suggestions.

Hi! I am traveling in the UK and my iPhone 13 Pro Max is now saying “No SIM available.” I have not done the IOS 16/17 updates. I tried a network reset but now my cell data is completely gone. Any help on fixing this would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Updated my iPhone 14 and it immediately killed my sim card

cant get it to come back online

this is super frustrating

I had the same issue when updating my iPhone 13 to IOS 17.2.1. I had no 4G connection when it powered up. I tried taking the SIM out and putting it back in and turning Airplane mode off and on but neither resolved the issue. However, I did manage to fix it, but it requires having a second phone. I had to switch my SIM to my work phone (android), let it power up and it worked fine on that phone. I then put it back in my iPhone and all was working again. It was a bit frustrating and seems like a common issue with the update which Apple seem to have not considered.

I have faced exactly same issue. I had updated my iPhone 13 Pro Max to iOS 17 couple of days back, and then to security update version of 17.0.1 this morning. Ever since the upgrade, I am getting "SIM Failure" error prompt.

I have performed following troubleshooting, to no avail :

1. Toggling to Airplane mode
2. Restart phone
3. Reseat the SIM card tray after wiping SIM card with a clean cloth
4. Reset Network settings

At last I attempted to try my SIM card in another phone, and the SIM is not being recognised on the other phone too. It seems the update somehow intrusively fiddled with the SIM card, as things were working smoothly before the update.

It is bizarre, as I had this SIM card on international roaming, and now I would need to wait to revisit my country whenever in future, before I can get a replacement SIM card from carrier.

Replacing the physical sim is the only solution so far I was told From the carrier that the sim should be replaced to a new one and that they are receiving a lot of complaints specifically after updating to IOS17

Have you contacted your carrier about their service?

I have the same issue after updating to ios 17 my physical sim card also not working but esim is working . That sim card i put in another phone also but not working that sim card is damaged now why this happened

i have a sim failure after update my IPhone 13 Pro Max software to 17. Pls what could be the reason

I reset my network settings and then swapped SIM cards with a friend, whose phone was functioning correctly. I wanted to see if it was the phone or the SIM. The phone worked with my friends SIM, but my SIM didn’t work in hers. However, when I put my non-working SIM back in my phone, it started working again.. Not sure if it's repeatable, but worked for me.

Apple is a horrible company. My fathers SIM card was erased and he is in the US without any facility to replace as service provider is in India. How will apple take care? Useless junk. They knew this issue and keeps pushing this horrible update. Apple days are numbered. Junk, horrible, useless company

i updated to ios 17.0.3 started getting notice sim card failure. i rebooted my iphone 13 pro and would work for a while until i get another sim card failure notice rendering my iphone 13 useless. i tried re inserting my sim card and was unable to get my iphone 13 pro up again at all. called verizon my service carrier and they gave me an esim and at first wasn’t working but after 2 hours on the phone was able to get my cell service up again . Had to use my same phone number as a secondary number as opposed to a primary number. Very frustrating but i think these updates are causing major problems and i am very leery of updating my phone again as this cost me two hours of time. This technology is to complicated even for the techs to know what are causing problems

I believe I have the same issue with my iPhone 13--unexplained No SIM issue, but in my case it happened after travelling with a different SIM, and then I swapped back to my home SIM. After running the latest update and trying all the other tricks (airplane mode toggle, reset network settings, remove and reinstall card, reboot...), I assumed that my carefully stored home SIM must be damaged, so went to carrier for replacement. Still no joy. Went to Apple Store. They worked on the phone for an hour, couldn't fix the issue. Because the back glass is broken from a fall over a year ago, they said that drop must be the problem and I need to pay $500 to replace the entire back panel (includes logic board). Now that I read this thread, I wonder if I should try eSIM solution. It would mean switching carriers for me. Super frustrating. My husband keeps bugging me to go back to Android. Maybe he's right.

I have the same issue when I update the IOS 17 today …. Utter stupid update and I have an International sim also not sure how this is all going to be managed
