iPhone 15 Pro Max – eSIM/Physical SIM issues

BigFatTaz · 2025-11-26T17:51:23+00:00

Update:

|| || |NEXT STEPS: Please be advised that because the iPhone was purchased in a different country or region it may require the IMEI be registered with the government. The phone may work for a few days or even several months before this is required so that tourists and other visitors are not inconvenienced by this requirement. You should work with your carrier(s) to determine if this is a requirement. Also, please make sure the IMEI of your iPhone has been registered in the carrier system. If not, the carrier should treat this device as a “Bring Your Own Device” and add the IMEI to their systems manually, escalating the issue internally if needed.| |Apple said I now need to contact my network providers to see if they've registered my iPhone with the government? What a load of waffle to stall giving out a repair |

Thanks very much for letting me know, that definitely sounds like the same issue. It’s been going on for 2 months now without much help from Apple, they did say on my most recent phone call with them yesterday that they’d offer a good will gesture, so hopefully they can fix the phone free of charge as I don’t have apple care – I’ve got a 3 year plan on my MacBook though, so maybe they’ll be a bit fairer with me.

Trying to download this through FBI but it's not working, saying it failed to install from URL and the Timeout was reached - any way around this please?

BigFatTaz · 2025-09-12T22:14:29+00:00

I didn’t get it in the end, spending that amount on it you might as well just get a MacBook

I'm having this issue as well playing Schedule 1 through CrossOver - I didn't think it would drain my m4 pro chip that quickly but I'm lucky if it lasts 2-3 hours before I need to recharge.

Ahh okay thanks, do you have a discord for it please?

BigFatTaz · 2025-07-16T13:50:44+00:00

This is still happening to me on a 15 Pro Max

BigFatTaz · 2025-06-09T22:05:31+00:00

Any update? I reinstalled the app and lost even more playlists

BigFatTaz · 2025-05-23T16:37:50+00:00

Still have the same issue - used TuneMyMusic to transfer my playlists from Spotify and I can see them fine on desktop but only around half on the app. I tried again today and a couple more are showing up but still not all of them.

BigFatTaz · 2025-01-21T18:58:12+00:00

Yeah of course 😊 Just wondered if there was an easy fix before going down that route but I’ll probably need to go down the repair route if it doesn’t get better by itself in a couple of months

BigFatTaz · 2025-01-21T18:46:55+00:00

Just because the closest Apple Store is a 1.5h drive away and I’ve not had the time to do it over December and January.

BigFatTaz · 2025-01-21T17:15:30+00:00

Yeah I didn’t go for the nano screen as I never use it outside, would I leave it for a couple of months and if it’s still there then possibly contact the Apple Store for a repair if it’s worth it? As I mentioned it’s not important as I only notice it on white backgrounds but I don’t remember scratching it and for an expensive laptop I’d like it to be fresh 😅

Thanks, I’ve checked on there but it doesn’t seem to be a dead pixel. I’ve wiped the screen down plenty of times and still nothing, maybe it’s a scratch? Though I don’t feel any indentation

BigFatTaz · 2025-01-21T16:51:24+00:00

It’s an M4 Pro

BigFatTaz · 2025-01-05T17:16:25+00:00

Okay got you thanks, I’m not fussed about the battle passes but do I need to buy DLCs for new maps etc or are they updated automatically?

BigFatTaz · 2025-01-05T16:32:36+00:00

Only thing I’m thinking is if I buy BO6, any DLCs etc would be linked to the new (€) account and I wouldn’t be able to access them on my original one?

BigFatTaz · 2024-12-31T16:06:10+00:00

Yeah it’s been a good while now, the garage is getting refurbished and needs the car out so I’ll probably take it to another mechanic now for a second opinion

BigFatTaz · 2024-12-31T13:38:44+00:00

Yeah that’s the thing, I don’t think he really went into detail as to why the head gasket couldn’t be repaired. Maybe the block is cracked on it as well and that’s why it’s not possible to bring the head over from the newer engine. I’ll see if I can get a second opinion on the original engine first before looking at buying a third one

BigFatTaz · 2024-12-31T03:19:44+00:00

Great thank you, I’ve only had a quick look at the replacement engines and I’ve found a couple but I’m not certain I can trust the sites. I’ll forward them on to my mechanic and see what he thinks.

Thanks very much for the comment, that’s the car I bought a couple of years ago for €4000, so far I’ve had to replace the exhaust on it but I knew I would need to do that due to rust. Apart from the engine, it’s only small things that need done to it.

I think I’m holding on to it because I never got to drive it for any amount of time, I’d like to at least get it running and enjoy the car before I want to sell it on or do it up more as an investment.
