Apple rolls out AT&T carrier update for iPhone 18 Pro Max on iOS 27.2 beta

Apple has rolled out a carrier settings update for iPhone 18 Pro Max users on AT&T who are running the iOS 27.2 beta. The update, which bumps the carrier bundle version from 72.0.2 to 72.0.3, aims to address issues where these devices lost cellular service and were unable to make calls. This follows a previous carrier settings update last week that addressed similar issues for users on AT&T running iOS 27.0.

The problem, which has only affected the iPhone 18 Pro Max due to its use of a Qualcomm modem in the United States, was first reported in late September. Users experiencing the issue saw an "SOS" display in the status bar instead of being able to access calls, texts, and cellular data.
