Do you know anything about Verizon recently making a change to their private network APNs? After upgrading iOS to 16.x, we have been experiencing numerous problems with iPads accessing the internet. Once we drop them from the private network, the device connects fine. Wasn’t sure if maybe you heard about APN and iOS 16.x issues.
Hello, I do not know of any APN updates at the moment. You can however check your network updates by navigating to Settings > General> About > Carrier and perform carrier update.
