God damn, I live in a country where apple doesnt exactly officially work here but they sell phones through “apple certified partners” this phone fail at even being a damn phone right now, no internet no text messages in or out, when I got this phone I expected it to last at least 2 years without any issues THERE IS NO APPLE SUPPORT IN THE DAMN PHILIPPINES WHO THE HELL DO I SEND THIS PHONE OFF TO? the phone works with anything but 4G so if I set it to 3G or 2G suddenly I can receive and send text messages again as well as make calls again. God damn this was the first time I tried iphones and it will be the last. Will also be the last time I endorse these paper weights to family and friends. Based on my hunch since it only happened immediately after the 14.2 version patch it may be a conflict in code for the new operating protocol specifically for the iphone 12 that may be causing this, long story short: iphone 12’s dynamically switch between 4G and 5G depending on load and use case the code written may have been written poorly and maybe left some holes in it such that when the same OS is loaded on legacy systems the phones dont know what to do on 4G and cant find do the switch mechanism or it gets confused when it’s supposed to do a switch but realizes it’s already in 4G mode. I’m just speculating at this point. God damn. This really ****** me off
