After updating to iOS 26.4.1 yesterday I have issues with the Network (e.g. invalid connection, when opening Apple Community). Restart and forced restart did not solve the problem. I do have an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Any ideas?
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 26
It seems, that the update from 26.4 to 26.4.1 did remove some access rights from some apps.
i needed to re-enable local network access for some apps to be able to use them again.
Network issues are not always the fault of the iOS update! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.
Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!
Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.
iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.
Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

I conducted a thorough search of this forum using the term 'Cellular network after iOS' or "Call Issue iOS" and uncovered numerous posts detailing similar issues across various iOS updates. This suggests that iOS updates may not consistently be the root cause. Below are a handful of examples extracted from the search results:

There may be a known issue with your device
The above issues span many models, and iOS updates suggest that many are device-specific and erroneously attributed to iOS updates.
On my iPhone 14 Max pro with iOS 26.4.1. I have the same problem.
The app Termius can no longer connect to local machines. The error message is: Can not start connection to x.y.z port 22, host is unreachable.
The app Mocha Ping Lite when pinging the local network (192.168.2.0) only finds the router and the iPhone itself.
When you attribute every glitch or slowdown, or feature availability on your device to an iOS update, you risk overlooking other potential causes that may be specific to your hardware or settings. Updates often become the “easy scapegoat,” but not all issues originate from the operating system itself.
It’s disingenuous to insinuate to iPhone customers that issues they are experiencing following an update, that also did not exist prior to update are wrong or off the mark. Sure other areas can potentially be the cause, but completely dismissing these customers experience is not helpful or considerate.
Hello Matthuett like You I had the same Problem Yet mine wasn’t a invalid Connection I don’t know Why it or how it happened But I personally had to make a decision as to turn on iOS updates or not? I turned off the latter Better to be Safe and Secure
