Apple Claims "SIM not Supported" Bug Hits iPhone 14 Series

Apple's 14th-generation iPhone launch has not gone all too well as anticipated. In its most recent announcement, Apple acknowledged that iPhone 14 users are affected by the SIM problem in iOS 16.

Apple has confirmed a new iOS 16 bug that is causing owners of the iPhone 14 inconvenience. A  message is displayed on their device that reads 'SIM not supported.' The business acknowledged the flaw and declared it is looking into the matter.

Apple strongly advises against restoring the device if the notice remains. The tech giant prefers that customers seek technical support from authorized Apple service providers or visit the nearest Apple Store. According to reports, Apple is developing a patch for this flaw and may deliver it by the end of the month.

Apple confirms in the memo that it is looking into the issue and that it is not a hardware-related one even if a fix is still pending. Since a software repair is possible, the affected iPhone 14 units would not need to be recalled. Apple advises iPhone 14 customers to wait until a fix is available because, occasionally, the error message will go away and the phones will start working normally again.

The business advised customers to 'upgrade to the current version of iOS to address the issue' if they experienced problems with Messages or FaceTime after configuring their new iPhone.

Apple stated that updating to the most recent version of iOS would fix any issues with iMessage and FaceTime not fully activating on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. 

Therefore, experts recommend holding off on upgrading to an iPhone 14 model until Apple has fixed more of these problems. The iOS 16.1 update is currently being developed by Apple and is anticipated to go live by the end of the month. The upcoming version will most likely include numerous new features, adjustments, and changes. A recent iOS 16.0.3 update from Apple is expected to fix a number of problems.
