My 7 Plus can't seem to get full bar

It fall between 3 bar to 4 bar signal strength. On iOS 10.02 i could hit full but not on 10.03.

That dots are not a representation of strength but rather quality. And it's just a representation which can change between versions.

I use my iPhones with field test mode to show more accurate signal.

That will show the strength of the signal but still not the quality which is what you really want. There's no point in having -75 dB and having so much interference that it's useless. I have found the dots to be wildly different.

No it's a problem with 10.0.3.

I have a 7+ and my wife has a 7 on AT&T. Signal on 10.0.2 was just fine, had no issues. But 10.0.3 just stinks.

At home with AT&T, we live close to a tower, and prior to .3 and also with 9.3.5 on our previous iPhones, we got full bars at our house. But since updating to 10.0.3 we now get 1 bar at our house. I know AT&T didn't change anything with their coverage, it's the iOS update. I am hoping when 10.1 gets released with a new carrier file that it goes back to where it was.

The whole amount of bars vs quality is a bunch of crap. You don't go from FULL bars to ONE in a small update without there being an issue with the update.
