Carrier Bundle Manifest

The carrier bundle manifest is a property list Apple serves at:

https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/com.apple.jingle.appserver.client.MZITunesClientCheck/version

It is the same file iTunes has always checked for its own updates, and still has keys for iTunes for Windows, iPod updaters and Nike+ voice kits. It is plain XML and about 6.3 MB (October 2026). Carrier and country bundles take up most of it. It is the only public list of published IPCC files: there is no directory listing on Apple’s CDN.

MobileDeviceCarrierBundlesByProductVersion

One dictionary per bundle name. Inside, one entry per iOS version that got a new bundle:

ATT_US
    27.0
        BuildVersion    72.1
        BundleURL       https://updates.cdn-apple.com/20261001/carrierbundles/142-29613/.../ATT_US_iPhone.ipcc
        Digest          <20 bytes, SHA-1>
        Digest3         <48 bytes, SHA-384>
    26.4
    ...
    8.0
    ByProductType
        iPad            6.1, 11.1, 13.3, 13.4
        iPhone          FallbackToByProductVersion = true
        iPhone7,1       8.1 ... 12.0
        iPhone7,2       8.1 ... 12.0

The version keys are iOS versions, not bundle versions: the 27.0 entry is the bundle for phones on iOS 27.0 and later, until a newer key appears. ATT_US had 25 of them in October 2026, from 8.0 to 27.0; the newest is now ATT_US 72.1.

ByProductType gives some devices their own history. iPad is a separate bundle (ATT_US_iPad.ipcc, at 41.1 for iPadOS 13.4). iPhone7,1 and iPhone7,2 (iPhone 6 Plus and 6) got their own builds of ATT_US from iOS 8.1 to 12.0, numbered like the main ones (18.1 for 8.1, 33.2 for 12.0). FallbackToByProductVersion means “nothing of its own, use the main list”.

MobileDeviceCarriersByMccMnc

Maps the MCC+MNC from the SIM’s IMSI to a bundle. 750 entries are a plain BundleName; 172 carry an MVNOs list, which is checked first:

20404
    BundleName  Vodafone_nl
    MVNOs
        BundleName Bell_ca             ICCID 89302610
        BundleName Truphone_US         GID1  547275554B3030656E
        BundleName Verizon_Visible_LTE_US   GID2 1A   ICCID 891480
        BundleName Verizon_Comcast_LTE_US   GID2 A3   ICCID 891480
        BundleName Vodafone_Travel     GID1  C2
        ...26 in all

A match is on ICCID prefix, GID1, GID2, or a combination. 81 MCC+MNCs have only MVNOs and no BundleName of their own.

20404 (Vodafone Netherlands) is the busiest. Vodafone NL’s IMSI range is used by a lot of roaming, IoT and travel SIMs, so SIMs from Canada (Bell, Sasktel, Videotron, Xplornet), Israel, Qatar, South Africa, China Telecom, US Cellular and Verizon’s MVNOs all arrive with MCC+MNC 20404 and are told apart by ICCID. 20601 (Proximus) does the same for Virgin France, NRJ, Holafly, Roamless and others. GID1 values are often ASCII: Truphone’s 547275554B3030656E is TruUK00en.

Some entries have both ICCID and IntegratedCircuitCardIdentity with the same value. ???

MobileDeviceCarriers

ICCID prefix (5 to 8 digits) to bundle name. ICCIDs start with 89 and the country calling code, so 8901 is +1: 8901150 and 8901180 are ATT_US, 890100 is GTA_gu.

MobileDeviceCarriersByCarrierID

32 entries, all US regional carriers from the CDMA era, keyed by MCC and a three-letter ID:

310ALK  AlaskaWireless_US
310SPR  Sprint_US
310VZW  Zeppelin_US
311IVC  IllinoisValley_US
330OPM  OpenMobile_pr

Verizon’s ID maps to Zeppelin_US, presumably the codename of Verizon’s original CDMA bundle. It is one of three bundles with a DMUFileName (DMU is CDMA Mobile IP key provisioning); the other two are Tracfone_US and OQCFactoryMultimode.

CarrierBundles

Watch has its own Bundles (287), BundleMappings (205) and IMSI (350) tables. They work like the country bundle tables below, with IMSI keyed by MCC+MNC and an MVNOs list matched on ICCID and GID2.

iPhone.OtherKnownSettings lists the OtherKnown bundle (58.1, 59.1). It has no SIM mapping; see Carrier Bundle § Special bundles.

CountryBundles

iPhone and Watch each have three tables:

CountryId
    204                         BundleMapKey  Netherlands_Map
    208                         BundleMapKey  France_Map
    com.apple.Australia         BundleMapKey  Australia_Map
BundleMappings
    Bulgaria_Map
        1   BundleMatchEntry Bulgaria_1   OS.Min 16.4
        2   BundleMatchEntry Bulgaria_2   OS.Min 17.5
        3   BundleMatchEntry Bulgaria_3   OS.Min 18.5
Bundles
    Australia_1
        BundleID        Australia
        BundleVersion   69.1
        BundleURL       .../Australia_iPhone.ipcc
        Digest          <48 bytes, SHA-384>

CountryId is keyed by MCC (numeric) or by bundle identifier (64 entries in all). A map can have several slots with different minimum iOS versions, so one country can have a different bundle for each OS range.

Signatures

CarrierBundleSignatures and CountryBundleSignatures each hold Format1 and Format2, and each of those a single signature3: a DER SEQUENCE of two integers, 102 or 103 bytes, the size of an ECDSA P-384 signature. What exactly is signed is ???.
