Ios 17.6 network issues

Hello. My problem started with ios 17.5.1. Often, in rural area where i live i usually had 5G signal (tower is near), but after update it would show no signal, in bigger towns would be a bit better but also not good like before the update. Sended phone to authorized apple support and they sended me back saying that everything is fine with the phone. I had to buy another cheap phone to put sim card inside and wait for ios update and have hope that it will fix my problem so i can use my phone again. Finally the day arrived, ios 17.6 was released. After i downloaded and installed it, shock! My cellular data completely stopped working. There is 0 signal bars all the time, it says no service. I can't make calls, connect to mobile data, nothing. Nothing is helping (network reset, phone reset, airplane mode on/off). I am really mad, my iphone 15 pro max is 5 months old and 2 months already useless. Apple please notice that big bug! I mean, can a bug be bigger for a phone? I can't make a call with a phone which costs 1400 euro where i live!!! Are you kidding?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

Hello alen124,


Check for a Carrier Settings update and also do you experience the same issue with different carrier SIM card?


To manually check for and install a carrier settings update:


  1. Make sure that your device is connected to Wi-Fi.
  2. Go to Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see an option to update your carrier settings.
  3. To see the version of carrier settings on your device, go to Settings > General > About and look next to Carrier.


If you insert a new SIM card into your iPhone or iPad, you need to download the carrier settings for your new carrier.


If you see SOS, No Service, or Searching on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
