This is and was my very first iPhone. As I decided to give it a try after over 10 years with Android. I have never had such a slow and steady failure like this before. Ever since mid July I would completely lose cellular service for 3 or more hours every week. It then happened every couple of days and the it happened every day, so I had to use my S9 Plus as a backup. No amount of updates would work, iTunes restore and DFU would come back with errors and factory resetting inside ios lead to this. Warranty expired in June and I dont have applecare. I looked up what this image meant and it came up as baseband failure, a hardware issue. I wish you guys well but I don’t think I am coming back to iphone anytime soon.

    I had a similar problem with my iPhone 11 Pro. I dropped it from the top of a ladder, but it still worked fine and no visible damage on the outside (had a good case on it). Progressively over a few weeks the cell service got worse and worse with dropouts and restarts and no about of resets, software updates and a full restore made it work.

    Took it to a repair shop and turned out the drop had apparently damaged the connection between the antenna board and mainboard. Was quoted $150 to fix, but had already preordered the 15 by that stage.

    Worth getting it checked out by a local repair place, could be a simple/cheap fix.
