iOS 14 no signal, no cellular data

got the same problem with my 11 pro max!
tried everything and still nothing has changed.
my sim card works great in my 5s.
everything was in order with ios 14 and no service error happened in ios 14.01. I’m now 100% sure that it’s related to the software issue and Apple has to so sth about it!
ios 14.2 was useless.
just hoping and praying for ios 14.3 😑

I’ve had no mobile data for 2 weeks and have tried every reset going including new SIM card, and multiple calls with my mobile/ cellular provider to trouble shoot.
Today by chance I selected 3G data in :

Settings/ Mobile data/ mobile data options/ voice data.

I now have mobile data again but in 3G only. Software update is iOS 14.2

I have the same issue with my iPhone XS with iOS 14.2. Today I switched my airplane mode off and from then I have no cellular connection and nothing helps. Please fix this problem apple!!!!

Guys try to select your network operator manually my network is back to normal now after I did that.

Same here. The problem started ever since I updated my iPhone XS to iOS 14 and the problem persisted. It happens most at my gym. For some reason, my reception dies out and would not recover. Nothing I do with the exception of rebooting my device can fix it.

I have friends who also have the same issue since updating. Fix this Apple! I don’t want to reboot my phone all the time.

Model: iPhone 11

I have a very similar issue on my device as well. The only difference that my issue has is that my phone will continue to show full bars of 4G connection even though there is no internet at all. Calls and SMSes can pass through though.

My timeline of facing this issue:
iOS 13.6 - Faced this issue one time on iOS 13.6 when I first got the phone in July. Restarted the phone and the issue disappeared.

iOS 14 Public Beta 6 - Joined the public beta for iOS 14 and this issue came back. Happens frequently when I am outside of my connected Wifi range.

iOS 13.7 - Rolled back to iOS 13.7 thinking that it might an iOS 14 bug. Same with iOS 13.6, happened one time and restarting the phone fixed the issue.

iOS 14 Stable Release - Updated to iOS 14 thinking that this issue is fixed. Turns out it was not fixed at all, still the same scenario with iOS 14 Public Beta 6.

iOS 14.0.1 - Still the same issue, no fixes at all.

iOS 14.1 - Still the same issue, no fixes at all. At this point I thought my phone has a hardware fault so I contacted Apple Support and they made a warranty claim because they can't fix it as well.

iOS 14.2 - Got my phone back after two weeks waiting for the Service Provider to return my phone. Updated to iOS 14.2 and the issue persists.

Things that I have done to fix this issue that doesn't do anything:

1. Reset Network Settings

2. Factory Reset

3. Restore the phone through iTunes

4. Replaced SIM card

5. Disabled VPN

The temporary fixes so far:

1. Removing the SIM card and put it back again

2. Restarting the phone

3. Do a soft reset

I have contacted Apple Support about this issue again and again and have been transferred between senior advisors with different opinions.

The resolution that they have came up with for now is that I will have to log all the times when my phone loses cellular data, and sent to them once I have 24 hours' worth of logs. I have been logging the issues for two weeks now and hopefully this will help them on fixing this issue.

I believe the modem updates released back in iOS 14.1 and iOS 14.2 were meant to fix this issue but they have failed, apparently.

Note: This issue seems to be happening only on 4G.

Just to add ours to the pile of growing issues with 14.2 - this one on iPhone7

The initial problem she found was that the mobile cellular and data would not engage as it had an error saying the update had not been verified and could not connect to the internet (although was on wifi).

"iOS 14.2 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet"

We reinstalled fresh updates from the phone as well as iTunes – successfully being able to look at what iOs we were running and the phone confirmed 14.2 was installed correctly and fully – but we still could not connect to mobile cellular or data. We then subsequently decided to do a factory reset and reinstall from scratch.

The phone now is stuck after going through most of the welcome process with an error message: "Unable to activate" and "an update is required to activate your iPhone." underneath that.

This occurs after connecting to wifi in the welcome process.

We took the phone into an authorised Apple repairman here and has said this is one of SEVERAL phones to now come in with this problem, saying there is nothing he can do unless Apple posts a software fix to the update.

I tried everything and in one last effort before I went to the my cell carrier I turned off VPN, and would you know it, I can get internet again!

I was having the same issue since updating to iOS 14.2 didn’t really realize it because I was at home connected to WiFi all the time but thanksgiving forced me out of the house to get food and what not and that’s when I realized that my data wasn’t working at all I contacted apple and went through all the steps even resetting my phone completely still the same issue so today I contacted my carrier and they reset some settings on their end I’m assuming and told me to reset my network and power phone off and on and then toggle cellular data a couple times and now it’s working I’m hoping it holds up if not I will update

I have this same issue on my iPhone XR. After long and useless conversations with apple support, they told me to bring my phone to the apple store. After a week I got an answer that this was a factory defect with some iPhone XR but since my phone is out of the warranty period (by a couple a months), I have to pay to get a new phone!!!!! You read that right, they messed up and I have to PAY for a NEW phone! This is totally unacceptable!!!!! I bought an expensive phone to have it for more than 2 years for God’s sake. I would like to sue apple, so if anyone else is in, le’t do it.

I'm also facing the same issue in my iPhone 8. Tried everything but still can't access the cellular data on my phone. Eagerly waiting for the update. Fed up with this now... iOS is 14.3 beta (18C5054c). Please help me with this...

Same Issue, IPHONE XS just updated to IOS14 and start losing signal randomly, at home, office GYM, every where. the only solution is to restart.

Iphone 11 Pro, ISO 14.2 update and phone will not pick up LTE data signal it used to be. :((((

Your SIM card is out of date. You need to get a new one from your carrier.

This solved my issue with no carrier signal after updating to IOS 14.2

It has been a hot minute...
I've been following this thread for over 2 months now since late September.

I have an iPhone 8 plus and I had no issues with service or even had to think about issues until post upgrading to ios 14. I haven't had service since 2 before upgrading and have been using my little old iPhone SE with my sim. Weirdly enough that works no problem every time I mess with moving sim cards (on the latest ios), so I have no idea what's up.

I have tried all the things (or what has felt like all the things) in this thread and to no avail. Even down to DFU mode reset. Visited the Genius Bar that is more like a Sales bar where they said that it's they can't find anything "diagnostically wrong", it's out of warranty(only 2 years old since purchase), and I'd have to pay for a new one if I want to, "but still can't guarantee that fixes the problem". Sounds suspicious enough. The person also mentioned they have been receiving this problem for months too, and I'm like "?!?!?!? shouldn't apple be aware of this ?!?!".

I'm writing moreso for the people just following along like I was and wanted to say you're not alone. But maybe if we keep this thread going and have more people chime in this can be pushed up the priority list for Apple. Someone has to know this is a problem and maybe just not enough media to take action, or potentially worse... our phones are bricked and they don't want to admit it. Here's to hoping the former and an ios update comes out that resolves it.

Good luck with everyone and this really makes me not want to buy another iphone ever and switch to another brand, but thinking about coughing up the money makes me sick when us as users are not at fault.
