Redesigned MacBook Pro with OLED to feature ‘significantly lighter’ design: report Michael Burkhardt Oct 4 2026.

In a statement shared with on Friday, Apple said that iPhone 18 Pro Max users who have experienced an issue where AT&T cellular service does not work will need to have the device replaced, as the issue apparently cannot be fixed with a software update once it has occurred. That is a big deal, as it hints at hardware failure, but we lack details since Apple and AT&T have yet to disclose the underlying cause of the issue.

Although Google only launched the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold in August, we already have a first leak about their successors. The Pixel 12 devices have apparently been spotted in the GSM Association’s database, and there’s an interesting detail about them that’s been outed – though we’re not sure exactly how, since the GSMA usually only lists model numbers.

A spokesperson for AT&T directed us to Apple, which has yet to respond to our latest request for comment. It is possible that Apple is still investigating the issue, but so far our follow-up questions have been met with radio silence (pun intended).

Speaking of which, the Pixel 12 has the model number GC0QU, the Pixel 12 Pro is GWU59, the Pixel 12 Pro XL is G7U1Y, and the Pixel 12 Pro Fold is G4D5D. Somehow their screen resolutions have been…

In the meantime, all we know is that Apple said iOS 27.0.1 and an AT&T carrier settings update released last week "are meant to help prevent this issue from occurring," so iPhone 18 Pro Max users who have not experienced this issue should ensure that both of these updates are installed immediately to avoid potential future impacts. To install iOS 27.0.1, open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap General → Software Update.

Google Pixel 12 series screen resolutions are out and they paint an interesting picture.

The carrier settings update for the iPhone 18 Pro Max will automatically download for AT&T users within the next 14 days, according to Apple. Apple said it has only observed this issue with iPhone 18 Pro Max users on the AT&T network.

No other iPhone models or carriers are known to be impacted. Models of the iPhone 18 Pro Max rely on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X80 modem for cellular connectivity, while variants of the device sold in all other countries are equipped with Apple’s custom C2 modem.

It is unclear if this modem difference is a factor in this AT&T issue, or if the overlap is merely a coincidence. We have reached out to Qualcomm and will share the company’s response, if any.

Apple said a "small number" of iPhone 18 Pro Max users experienced this AT&T issue, which prevents phone calls, text messages, and cellular data from working. A "small number" is Apple’s standard wording for these types of issues.
