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 :
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.
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 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.
As you can see you need to contact you India plane carrier for a new sim sorry for that Apple may not be able to help. 😞
Same problem occurred with my iPhone 14 after 17.2 updates.my sim is damaged and will have to be replaced .frustrating
My iPhone 13 pro recently updated to iOS 17.2 and my device had intermittent data connectivity issues and was rapidly swapping between cellular and WiFi. After 1 day of this the sim card no longer works. Device now says Sim Failure upon insert. Seems like this patch caused device issues.
same issue with sim card not available/failure with iphone 13 pro
it’s due to update ios 17 causing sim card failures rendering them useless
esim seems to be working for last several hours
I updated software to IOS 17 and my physical SIM card stopped working.
I did not upgrade to ios17 and I have a "SIM failure" this morning, 10.14.2023.
After updating tonight to 17.1 it killed my SIM card.
before the update i did some calls.
With iOS 17.0.1
card also not readable in an old CR with 17.01, other SIM card works.
so do not update…
The only thing I can suggest is taking the SIM card out and placing it back again.
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
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!
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
