SIM Card Failure with 16.3.1

I get occasional SIM card failures on my iphone 12 since the 16.3.1 update. Never had this issue before. There is no damage to the phone or card. I have removed the card, cleaned it and still get failures. This is on the Verizon network.

iPhone 12

sim card failure on iPhone 13 Pro My daughter's iPhone 13 Pro just started getting a SIM Card Failure. We took it to Verizon who told us that this is a known issue with this phone after a recent ios upgrade, and it can't be fixed. Also tells us that they can't just use the eSim because that also was broken in the update. Only fix is to replace the phone. Both stories seem like total BS, so we are gonna take it to Apple, but can't get a genius appointment for 3 days. Has anyone heard of this?

SIM Failure message on iPhone iPhone 13 pro sim failure I am a fairly new user to iPhone, I got this phone in January of this year. All of a sudden today I began getting a message that says “SIM card failure”. I reached out to Verizon who directed me to reset my network settings to factory settings, this fixed the problem, however, I’ve now had to do this THREE times since today and the last time it did not fix the problem. My phone does not have a physical SIM card and I cannot figure out what is suddenly causing this issue. I haven’t dropped or damaged my phone at all. Any ideas? [Re-Titled by Moderator]
