Apple Replaces iPhone 18 Pro Max for AT&T Customers

Apple Inc. announced that a small number of AT&T Inc. customers must replace their iPhone 18 Pro Max devices due to a cellular service bug. The issue affects the $1,299 handset, which launched two weeks ago.

The bug renders the affected phones largely unusable for calls, data, and text messaging unless the devices are connected to Wi-Fi. While Apple confirmed that device replacements are necessary to resolve the failure, the company has not disclosed the exact number of users impacted by the flaw.
