Hello ,
Just one question:
Are operator updates linked to the SIM and the iPhone?
Because in France, they've just activated 5G+ and it's linked to an operator update.
Will the US iPhone 16PM get the update in France? Via my French operator

Thank you
 
Yes, operator updates are typically linked to both the SIM card and your iPhone.
In France, if your operator has activated 5G+ and has released an operator update, your iPhone should be able to receive that update as long as it is compatible with the network and you are using a SIM card from that operator.

If I have 100% of frequencies an iPhone of any country will have the update provided that the sim of the operator active inside it is right?
 
To ensure you receive the update, make sure your iPhone is connected to the internet (via Wi-Fi or cellular data) and check for any available updates in the Settings app under Settings -> General -> About.

If an operator update is available, you should see a prompt to install it.

Yes if you are using a French e-SIM and connected to a French carrier on a US iPhone 16 of any device flavor you will automatically get any Operator updates when connected to your French carrier.

In the US we call them Carrier updates:

Carrier settings updates improve connectivity, performance, and support for new features. You can also manually check for updates by going to Settings > General > About and looking for a "Carrier Settings Update Available" prompt.

Oui, si vous utilisez une e-SIM française et que vous êtes connecté à un opérateur français sur un iPhone 16 américain de n'importe quelle version d'appareil, vous recevrez automatiquement toutes les mises à jour de l'opérateur lorsque vous serez connecté à votre opérateur français.

Aux États-Unis, nous les appelons mises à jour de l'opérateur :

Les mises à jour des paramètres de l'opérateur améliorent la connectivité, les performances et la prise en charge des nouvelles fonctionnalités. Vous pouvez également rechercher manuellement les mises à jour en accédant à Paramètres > Général > À propos et en recherchant le message « Mise à jour des paramètres de l'opérateur disponible » .

Thanks you 😉
