I have been having this same issue since Tuesday 1/14. Happened once on Tuesday, 5 or 6 times Wednesday and so far twice today... I have only had the phone for 2 weeks! It is an Iphone Xs Max

Jihale, this is never the expectation of a new phone! Please do the following:

Turn off your phone completely. This is recommended to prevent causing any sort of damage to the SIM card or phone itself.
While the phone is turned off, insert the SIM ejector tool (or a paperclip) into the tiny hole on the SIM tray found on the side of your iPhone.
Gently push the ejector tool until the SIM card tray protrudes.
Remove the card tray from the phone.
Then take the SIM card from the card slot.
Examine the card for any signs of damage like scratches or liquid traces.
If the SIM card looks perfectly fine, place it back into the SIM card slot in the same position before you removed it.
Secure the SIM card in place.
Then push to insert the SIM tray back into the phone until it’s completely locked.

Turn your iPhone back on and then see if the Cellular Update Failed error persists. Keep us posted on how this goes.
