carrier-explode - Decode iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy carrier settings
Show HN: See *almost* any carriers phone settings
carrier-explode decodes and compares carrier settings from iPhone, Pixel, and Galaxy firmware, giving you a clear view of APNs, VoLTE, Wi-Fi Calling, and 5G support across carriers. Search by carrier, feature, or build to see what changed and when. Access all data via a JSON API or daily CC0 dataset, and dive into the wiki for format details. Perfect for developers, researchers, and anyone curious about mobile network configurations. The recent 2.0 release brings a much-improved backend, and contributions to the decoders are welcome.

I saw this linked from MacRumors during the AT&T iPhone 18 Pro Max lockup news discussions. It was interesting to see what AT&T/Apple did to try to get ahead of the issue. So far it looks like they disabled 5G Standalone mode, possibly just to prevent a bug from literally destroying the hardware (possibly only on one batch of phones).
Apple/AT&T still haven't released any kind of statement addressing the issue other than to replace affected hardware.

This is super cool. Particularly for the fact that it just showed my country's operators rather than the usual America First.

I wonder which field is responsible for disabling the Personal Hotspot feature? About a year ago mine suddenly got disabled in the phone's UI. Since then, the only time it got enabled was when I was traveling and using a travel eSIM.
It's sad that phone companies allow carriers such anti-user things.

It would be great to contribute whatever's applicable to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mobile-broadband-provider-inf...

What do you use the info you have gathered for? It seems comprehensive but curious as to how you use it?
