Apple rolls out AT&T carrier update for iPhone 18 Pro Max on iOS 27.2 beta
Key Points:
- Apple is rolling out a new carrier bundle update for iPhone 18 Pro Max users on AT&T running the iOS 27.2 beta to address ongoing cellular service issues.
- The issue, first reported in late September, causes affected devices to lose calls, texts, and data, showing “SOS” in the status bar, and has only impacted iPhone 18 Pro Max models with Qualcomm modems.
- A previous update with iOS 27.0.1 and a carrier settings update aimed to prevent new cases, but devices already affected require hardware replacement.
- The latest update increases the carrier bundle version from 72.0.2 to 72.0.3 for iOS 27.2 beta users, aligning with the fixes provided to users on iOS 27.0 with version 72.1.
- The iPhone 18 Pro model, which uses Apple’s C2 modem, has not experienced this cellular connectivity problem.
