iPhone estimate

Sadness and desolation among some users ofiPhone in the United States, victims of an astonishing bug.

Some users indeed report malfunctions related to the eSIM of their smartphone.

A bug on iPhone linked… to the eSim?

A blow to some iPhone users in the United States, T-Mobile network subscribers and eSIM holders. In fact, the journalist Bloomberg Mark Gurman indicates that a bug is likely to cause, completely randomly, the deactivation of iMessage and FaceTime on iPhone.

A deactivation that is not only random, but also gives the user no means of reactivation… other than inserting a physical SIM card into the iPhone. According to some, deleting the eSIM account from the iPhone and setting it up again would work around the problem, and regain access to iMessage and FaceTime.

A particularly annoying bug that would be present on versions 15.4, 15.5 and 15.6 beta of iOS, but which could also affect older versions of the Apple ecosystem. For the time being, it seems that this problem is exclusively linked to the American operator T-Mobile, which offers an eSIM function, and no bug of this kind has been spotted in France.
