The update for 18.2 came over last night and today my XR no longer has a cellular connection.
Settings/Cellular Connection - Issue detected -
So it's just scanning and scanning for a signal.
I've tried power cycle several times.
My husband's newer phone is on the same plan/service and is fine.
Any way to undo this?
iPhone XR, iOS 18
The provider was unable to resolve it - even trying a new SIM card it was stuck searching for a connection. It was not dropped or damaged, just the update and then - gone. The iPhone is bricked as far as cellular is now concerned, and we'll have to buy another one.

Yes you contact your cellular data provider to resolve the issue.
I have an iPhone 13 and am fairly certain that the same thing happened to my phone as well. What carrier were you on?
Verizon. Pre-Paid
The same thing happened to me. In settings, there’s an option to connect to a Cellular plan. But when I went to my phone service website & app it won’t let me reactivate my phone without sending me a text to confirm it’s me. And of course I can’t receive texts other than from other iPhone users.
my Apple Watch won’t work either. It’s a real mess up.
I have a 13 pro & the same thing happened to me, with Verizon. Extra messed up because my Apple Watch is supposed to work without my phone.
18.2 broke my cellular connection (iPhone XR)
