Seems like I can’t install it… Guess I will need to fight again with my phone.

I got it to install… it's been installing for the last 10-15 minutes, when I need to login to my employer's account (which needs my phone).

Nice, downloaded without issue.

got it for the security content, whatever it may be, the rest ? in yesterday’s vernacular, Meh ! or in my own, Phooey !

Most likely a security release, but I hope the landscape bug goes away. My keyboard keeps making the screen weird.

Happy to report that I still have that weird CarPlay network indication issue. “No network” while actively connected to 4G; only applies to the on-board systems, not CarPlay screen display.

And I figured out what is causing that. It’s reporting the status of the mobile network associated with the absent nanoSIM card. There doesn’t seem to be a setting to fix that.

Also, a new behaviour surfaced this Thursday. My phone has enabled the secondary SIM slot (nanoSIM in my case), and connected to the emergency wireless network. I’m not sure if it a defect, or a change mandated by the national government as a result of the Rogers network failure in July 2022.

Settings / Cellular and turning off that line (if it does show up) doesn't do this?

I have to say: I have a 13 Pro with a SIM slot that does not have a SIM, but instead has an eSIM active, and I do not see two different networks in my status. I only see that when I travel internationally and add either a local physical SIM or a local eSIM, but those go away when I remove the SIM from the slot or remove the eSIM from the phone.

It’s not even there.

The "SOS" when a SIM isn't present is normal - I see that on my backup iPhone X without any SIM at all. What's not normal is the phone acting like it's got two SIMs active when only one is really there. I have an eSIM, once had a physical SIM in the phone (well, a few different times), and I see only one active network in my status bar.

I suspect that your solution may be Settings / General / Transfer or Reset Phone / Reset / Reset Network Settings. Unfortunately, this also deletes all WiFi authentications, so you'll need to reconnect to your WiFi access points as you access them.

Like I said, it might very well be a regulatory change following a full network failure at Rogers in 2022. It started doing that last Thursday (2023-06-01).

I’ll see when iOS 16.6 comes out.

Edit: I did the network settings reset and it did make that network disappear.
