don't concern yoursrlf with other people's problems, lets look at yours.


To see if it is the signal, do you have signal bars and can you browse the internet in cellular?


If you cannot browse but you have signal bars, then the signal may be being blocked. Do you run a VPN?


If you have no bars, have you tried moving to eSIM?

I went to ATT and they couldn’t figure it out. They erased my phone and started over. Because my phone updated to the cloud it loaded everything back on my phone. Everything works sometimes and then stops and all I get is a white screen. They think there was a glitch when I got the iOS 26 update because everything worked fine before. I had no issues. They had a customer come in who had issues earlier yesterday. His camera would not work it was totally a black screen. I can’t use my phone to call Apple. This is very frustrating. I do not have an Apple Store near me. Thanks for your help.
