iPhone 18 Pro Max stuck in SOS mode? Try AT&T’s urgent fix ASAP

The iPhone 18 Pro Max, the top-tier model in Apple's latest iPhone 18 series, is experiencing connectivity issues with the AT&T network since its debut. Users have reported that their iPhones randomly enter SOS mode, making it difficult to make calls, send texts, access data, or even contact emergency services. This problem is not affecting other models in the iPhone 18 series, leading some to believe it may be related to the Qualcomm modem used in the iPhone 18 Pro Max.

AT&T has issued a warning to affected customers, urging them to update their devices to iOS 27.0.1 as soon as possible. Apple has released this update to address a freezing issue, a Face ID glitch, and several minor problems, but its description does not mention the AT&T connectivity problems. Despite the update's limited mention of network issues, applying iOS 27.0.1 may resolve the connectivity problems for some users.

However, not all users have seen improvement after the update, as reported on Reddit forums. AT&T's spokesperson stated that they are working closely with Apple to resolve the issue, emphasizing the importance of maintaining uninterrupted connectivity. Those still experiencing problems can seek additional support at an AT&T or Apple store.

From 10,000 frames to 30 moments: Building a visual story compressor

Two hours at 2fps is around 14,000 frames. Most of them are noise: the cursor blinks, the system clock ticks, nothing in the code moved. The first step isn't clever. It's just getting rid of those.

  • ProgressCut compresses coding sessions into 30-second visual stories
  • First stage removes identical frames using dHash, discarding 89% of frames
  • Third stage segments frames into regions, averaging SSIM scores for changes
