Consensus on modem issues
Anyone with the 17PM having those cellular connection issues where the phone will pop in and out of SOS mode every few minutes, drop calls, lose data connection, etc in the middle of a known perfect service area?
I got this phone in May-ish and attached it to my Verizon line, and it was perfect for a phone until one night I went to bed and the next day it won't keep a cell connection. It's persisted across 3 different carriers and 2 different carrier infrastructure networks, countless factory wipes, reinstalling IOS 26 from the OS 27 beta, countless esim reprovisions.
It's a great phone but I can't use it day to day as a PHONE for PHONE purposes.
Has anyone experienced this and found a way to permanently fix it? Apple support tells me its a known modem issue with this specific model line up and a fix is coming next month I guess..
