Summary

  • AT&T texted iPhone 18 Pro Max customers to install iOS 27.0.1 immediately, warning some devices may be unable to make calls, send texts, use data or reach 911.
  • Thousands of users have reported similar outages in forums and support communities, with many saying the update did not restore service and their phones still drop into SOS mode.
  • Apple's iOS 27.0.1 release notes mention only a Face ID fix for iPhone 18 Pro models, and Apple has not publicly commented on the AT&T connectivity problem.
  • The U.S. iPhone 18 Pro Max uses a Qualcomm modem while other new iPhones use Apple's C2 modem, but no link has been confirmed and a further software or hardware fix may be needed.
