Today, at home with line of sight to the cell tower, my brand-new iPhone 6s Plus shows No Service. This never happened with my iPhone 5s in over two years, regardless of where I went. The phone has seen less than 12 hours use. It is running iOS 9.0.2, all freshly setup.

Apple Core Rot runs amok. The breaking of the Personal Hotspot feature was outrageous enough, but now breaking the core feature of voice calls too?! I rely on my iPhone for business phone calls. This is grossly sloppy work on Apple’s part.

The only fix seems to be rebooting this $950 iLemon. I tried entering/exiting Airplane Mode, but that did not regain cell service.

Clearly Apple has some critical bugs still extant. Apple’s penchant for releasing software updates by calendar instead of by quality is unacceptable.
