So ...
Is Apple so confident that they will just push the fix in the next release?
or
Will Apple push another Beta to validate the fix?
Having never had issues with an iOS device until now, your guess is as good as mine.

I am so very happy for all you pioneers out there, taking arrows as you blow through the bugs, making noise and otherwise helping Engineering fix them. It's a hell of a good service.
By January it'll be safe for me to think about a new iPhone.
It would be a lot safer to wait until the problems are resolved. I value my time and don't want to be stuck on the phone with Apple Support and running back and forth to the Apple Store. The problems are ridiculous.I just started reading through this thread, because I made the decision to upgrade my X today. I think I may now hold off until January or February 2019.

I don't blame you for waiting a few months longer. From now on, I'll be waiting ~90-days for on a new phone purchase; I'd hope by then the new phone's issues are resolved. Though I didn't upgrade to my XS the moment it was released, I waited until October 16th. Other than the LTE/Cellular performance, it's a fine device. But I wish I held onto my 6S a few months longer.
It's pointless. Just get one if you want it and if you have issues, take it back.I’m getting ready to start reading through this thread. Too many people are having LTE/WiFi issues for me to even consider upgrading now. I might as well wait until next year’s iPhone but wait an additional 3 months.
"no stories on it besides a few forum posts."It's pointless. Just get one if you want it and if you have issues, take it back.
All this anecdotal data means nothing. If it were a huge issue, Apple wouldn't be able to stop the tsunami. It's clear some are impacted, but the overall number must be quite small because there are literally no stories on it besides a few forum posts.
Remember, probably 40-50M of the XS devices have now probably been sold.
Yeah, like I said...those are still isolated cases. Of course you find them if you Google the phrase."no stories on it besides a few forum posts."
There's more... spend 5 seconds googling the issue and you'll see there are more than just "a few forum posts".

Again, if every phone had this issue, it would b a tsunami of complaints, daily...never stopping. This still falls under the s small amount impacted category.Released two months ago with no fix so unlikely correctable via software. Probably going through certification of new hardware fix revision for silent RMA replacement sometime early next year.
Based on the current 12.1.1 beta, it's not fixed yet.When should 12.1.1 be out of beta? It seems like weeks since it should have been out and I want to get my cellular/LTE fixed. It is much weaker than even my previous Verizon 6 was. I actually think it's an inferior Intel modem vs the Qualcomm modems that were previously used, but others have reported that the software has helped to some extent
I’m in contact with very very very high ups at Apple. I don’t want to say more. But let me tell you it very likely is a hardware issue.I think people need to stop assuming it’s hardware related . Just because you swap a phone out and it still does it means nothing . Let me guess both phones were still on 12.1 and the new phone had the same carrier as the old phone ( Aka a non new version ) so that explains that . Nuff said do some research guys doubtful to be hardware
Just cause you’ve had 5 replacements means nothing . Apple is still ironing out modem firmware updates and carrier versions through beta ios’s . Can’t rule that it’s just hardware yet ..
So when are they going to give up and put the superior Qualcomm modems back in the phones?As I said I’ve been in contact with very high ups at Apple and it most likely is a hardware issue.
Clearly this being a public forum you have a multitude of people saying whatever they want and though you may or may not believe me that’s the information presented to me.
I’m still in communication with them and nothing is final yet. But it sure as hell looks like that.
Usual suspects proclaiming it a hardware issue.
I guarantee this will be fixed with software. If this were a hardware issue, this would be WAYYY more prevalent and way more reports around the world.
Also, you can change Antenna behavior with software. It was done on the iPhone 7.
