I'm rockin the 5S, and ever since the ios 8 upgrade, the fukking push notifications stopped working. anyways, I'm like

my phone is backed up, so I'll just do a clean restore and that should fix it.
well why does the phone decide once it's restored, that it can no longer see my sim card. I call sprint, they say
call apple, they try to blame sprint. However, I already tried swapping in my wife's sim card in my phone and it don't work. and I put my sim card in her phone and it does work.
so obviously the problem is with the phone. anyways, I gotta take time out my morning to come to apple to have them look at this. and I'm sure it will be crowded since it's only been 3 days since the 6/6+ dropped.
Anyone else experienced this problem???
btw, I'm on the 4th phone cuz the first one fell in a glass of water. 2nd one, I shattered, then when I got it fixed, the speaker by your ear went to shyt. and then this 3rd one can't recognize the sim card.
I don't even have applecare, I can't help but wonder if this next phone will survive for another year til the next phone drops
