iPhone XS Problems
Some iPhone XS users are still dealing with activation problems after updating to iOS 12.1.1. Activation issues are very common so there’s no need to panic if you are encountering the activation problem on your new phone.
If you could not activate your iPhone, you should check Apple’s System Status page. If it’s grey, you need to wait until it’s green and then try it again. In case it’s green, but it’s still not working, ensure you have already inserted a SIM card in your iPhone. If you see a “No Sim” or “Invalid SIM” error, you should head here for help.
A few iPhone XS users are also complaining about problems with setting up Face ID, iCloud, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. Some iPhone XS users are even dealing with shipping problems. If you’re encountering a shipping issue you should get in contact with Apple service or your company’s customer service for further assistance.

Downgrade Your iPhone XS To Lower iOS Version
There’s no way to downgrade an iPhone XS to iOS 11 version and you will be stuck with iOS 12 version. However, you can downgrade to iOS 12.1 if the iOS 12.1.1 update is now running on your iPhone. You can use iTunes to help you do that. Download the iOS 12.1 firmware for your iPhone first > open iTunes, click on Shift + Update to downgrade your phone without losing data.
