Apple IDs iPhone Bug That Requires Device Replacements

A glitch in some new iPhone models has reportedly forced Apple to identify a bug affecting a "small number" of AT&T customers who recently upgraded to the company's $1,299 iPhone 18 Pro Max. The issue has caused these users to lose cell service, making their devices unusable unless connected to a Wi-Fi network. Users can download a carrier settings update or install the available iOS 27.0.1 to prevent the bug from spreading further.

However, affected individuals must replace their device with either Apple or AT&T. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is Apple's highest-end smartphone, with the foldable iPhone Duo set to launch on Oct. 23 for $1,999. Apple CEO John Ternus highlighted advancements in intelligence, performance, battery, and camera, positioning the iPhone as the best personal device for AI with privacy protections and extensive knowledge of its users.
