Reports saying new iPhones have weaker LTE and WiFi signals. Anyone having any issues? Trying to figure out where my Max stands. Love the phone but hope it’s signal is good as my old 6s plus.
I haven't noticed any difference on my Verizon Xs Max compared to my 7 Plus. I have three out of four bars where I currently sit in my home as well as while I travel...no difference
Had read about an extra antenna the new phones have that the x didn't, an hoping for better data and call coverage because you know, it is a phone first and foremost
So one article tells us there's issues and another say it's improved. Now I'm confused.
So Apple will tell us again that we're holding our phones wrong.
So the way I read that is that most should see some improvement, but that there is always a % with antenna/signal issues out of the plant. Shifting to apple chipset is dicey in this respect. We shall see.
I wish we could see dbm again to see strength signal
You can always look at it manually with the secret field test menu... it still works.
This is one of the biggest reasons I have been hesitant to switch to the new iPhone, it's not exactly a secret that Intel modems aren't as good as what Qualcomm puts out and being a T-Mobile user who sometimes struggles indoors with getting signal this has me tapping the brakes on making the switch.
No such luck on band 71, still have to wait until end of next year for that. I thought the T-Mobile iPhones switched to Intel a couple of years ago, but I could be wrong.The T-Mobile model has always had Intel chips anyway. Also the XS and XS Max have band 71, so if the 600mhz spectrum is built out where you are then you should see better signal indoors.
