And of course, no workaround seems to exist

The release of iOS 14.7.1 landed as good news for iPhone users, as it included important fixes, including for a vulnerability that was already exploited in the wild.

In other words, this was a must-have update for anyone with a supported iPhone, especially because malicious actors out there were known to specifically target Apple users and use this exploit in their attacks.

This means iOS 14.7.1 has been a recommended update for everyone out there, but on the other hand, it looks like quite a significant number of users are hitting a glitch that makes their devices almost useless.

It’s a “no service” bug that means the iPhone can no longer connect to a network, and the typical workarounds, which involve restarting the phone, resetting the SIM, and toggling airplane mode on and off didn’t make any difference.

9to5mac has come across posts from users across the world who reported the issue, with many confirming the whole thing happens on all iPhone models from iPhone 6s to iPhone 12.

Similar problems in iOS 15

Oddly enough, iOS 15 beta also seems to be causing the same problems.

“Same here. iPhone X iOS 15 beta. Woke up to ‘No Service’ about 2 weeks ago and still. Was starting to think it was just my phone. Tried everything,” one user explained on Apple’s forums.

At this point, the Cupertino-based tech giant is yet to acknowledge the problem, but worth knowing is that not everyone seems to be affected by this glitch. For example, iOS 14.7.1 installed correctly on our iPhones here at Softpedia and the no service bug doesn’t seem to affect a single device in our fleet, so most likely, only a handful of users are impacted.

Without Apple acknowledging the whole thing, however, nobody knows how to fix the problem, so it remains to be seen how fast a patch would end up shipping to users.
