By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Apple has confirmed a network bug affecting a small number of iPhone 18 Pro Max users on AT&T's network in the US. The issue, which causes devices to display an "SOS" symbol instead of signal bars and prevents calls, texts, and data, has a software fix available via iOS 27.0.1 and a carrier settings update. However, devices that have already lost service will require a hardware replacement. AI
