I didn't update my iPhone for months and it completely bricked itself. Can't confirm they're related, but a barely 3 year old phone bricking itself so soon was odd.
Basically one morning all networks (Bluetooth, WiFi, LTE, 5G) all stopped working and I couldn't use them, a message saying I have to update the phone to use networks. Pretty genius to prevent me from downloading the update I need, but I tried to update through iTunes and it didn't fix anything.

- HWR_14 4y agoI call BS on this. Mostly because: - " a barely 3 year old phone bricking itself" - " all networks (Bluetooth, WiFi, LTE, 5G)" are incompatible. The oldest iPhone that supports 5G (iPhone 12) isn't 3 years old yet. It's possible that you have some kind of crash or error (those happen), but Apple support should definitely fix it. I would totally believe, given how cell providers lie about what 5G is and how they've been shutting down networks, that the "5G" broke because your carrier decommissioned the 3G towers they list as 5G.
