MAX XS user since day 1. I'm on T-mobile in the LA area and ever since launch, I've noticed my LTE and WIFI connections have been slower. But I pushed through hoping it would get better. But it's been at best 2-3 bars and I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't just bring it back to Apple to check. And either pop my sim into another device or get a new one altogether -_-
 
i have had the Xs max since the day after launch day and have had ZERO issues. LTE signal is the same as the X that it replaced and also the same as two iPhone 7 and one 6s in my house also no wifi issues.
 
Space Gray iPhone XS Max/64GB. No stutters, or any unevenness with the display, no rough edges, WiFi/LTE has been consistent.
 
My wife and I both have the XS Max (256 GB) and have had zero issues at all. As a matter of fact, these phones have significantly better reception overall when compared to our IPhone 7 +.
 
People rarely go online and rant that their phone is working.

Mine is just fine.

My reception is definitely better than when I owned an iPhone/3G/3GS/4/4S/5/5S/6/6S/7/X. In fact it's almost as good as my cellular modem that I have hooked up to a directional LTE antenna that I use as backup for my home internet.

just wondering where are all the people who have zero problems? If I’m going to spend over $1000 I would like to hear some positive stories as well... is 2018 iPhone XS the lemon of all iPhones? I’m guessing thousands were sold, so what’s the percentage of the bad apples?
I don’t have issues with my max. The 12.1 updated fixed the weak signal issue for me.
 
No issues other than some quirks in the base OS that came installed. Hardware, camera, and battery life is all awesome. ( starting my 3rd day in charge as I type this on my max ).
