iOS 26 Cellular doesn't work after update

iPhone 15 Pro Max here.

No mobile service.

Brought it to Genius Bar.

I was to be told that there is no issue with the components.

However, if I wanted it fixed it is going to be around £400-£500.

Fun times. Greed is good 💯

Im in the UK as well and I was given the exact same answer.

After doing some research, the only way to avoid or minimise the fee is to raise a case with the Ombudsman. However, even that will require a lot of evidences and will take up time.

iOS 18 security support is not ending anytime soon which means the only options are:

1. Trade in for android.

2. Get an android phone while keeping your iPhone 15 Pro. Use it as paper weight until iOS 18 end of life and issues of iOS 26 killing older iphones will come up that might force Apple to fix it.

Sadly enough this also killed the chances of me picking up another iphone in the future. Goodluck!

Adding that £502 and trading in your iphone will allow you to get a new phone already! 😅

This is my second message in this forum. Will Apple be releasing a fix soon? I've been stuck without a functioning phone for almost a month and a half now, and it’s extremely frustrating. After using Apple for nearly 15 years, I’m seriously considering switching to Android.

I’m an iPhone 15 Pro Max user in Ireland. I’ve tried everything — resetting network settings, restoring the phone, toggling Airplane Mode, checking APN settings, and more. My phone uses dual eSIM, and even after updating to iOS 26.0.1, I still have no network. It’s been more than a month with no service at all.

Does anyone know when Apple plans to release a fix for this issue?

I updated my iPhone 14 Pro Max 3 days ago but my cellular data keeps getting on and off , I have to keep re starting my phone . I did all the suggested options i.e resetting the network and all that but it’s all in vein am frustrated and it’s amn ESIM version

What is happening if you dont change the PIN but enter it?

I have the same problem on IPhone 14 Pro Max. I updated to ios 26 and outgoing calls, mobile Internet and modem mode do not work. I tried everything I could, but nothing helps. T mobail operator

I am facing the same problem on iPhone 15 pro max here! I reset the network settings and also phone settings nothing is changed so please anyone find any solution tap it here thanks

Same here

Weirdly enough, this worked too. Shame I had to lose my network settings before I tried this.

Exactly same issue here. iPhone 14 pro.

Daughter went to local Mac reseller. (Amac Netherlands) They had 6 other people with similar issue today alone.
