AT&T Tells iPhone 18 Pro Max Users to Install iOS 27.0.1, but Reports Say It Doesn't Fix Connectivity
AT&T urged iPhone 18 Pro Max users to update to iOS 27.0.1 for connectivity issues, but early reports say the update doesn't resolve the problem.
AT&T has sent a text message to iPhone 18 Pro Max customers advising them to update to iOS 27.0.1 to fix cellular connectivity issues. However, early reports from users indicate that the update does not resolve the problems.
Affected users report being unable to make calls, send texts, or use data, and see 'SOS' in the status bar. The connectivity issues have persisted despite the update.
Apple released iOS 27.0.1 earlier this week, with release notes addressing Face ID and camera performance bugs for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max users. Since the iPhone 18 Pro Max launched, some AT&T customers have complained of connectivity issues.
The situation remains unresolved for those experiencing the problem, and it is unclear whether a further software fix or other measures will be required.
