I would also guess something on the carrier’s side. Best success of course!
That would mean every carrier is having the same issue.

How so?
Before you all blame Apple I believe the issue lies with verizon. My dad and a few friends of mine all have had issue since they turned on there 5G network. I’m the only one with a 12, my dad has the Xr and a friend has a s20+ so it’s not just the iPhone 12’s. I put the issue in Verizon’s hands not Apple. Another friend exchanged his iPhone 12 and still has the same issue
No problem with messages here. On Sprint/T-Mobile and my son is on Verizon with a non-5G Samsung phone. No issues texting him or any of my friends with Apple or Android phones. I still think it is a Verizon 5G issue. I am not discounting an Apple issue with Verizon's 5G.Because the issue with notifications for messages is happening to people on all carriers.

Interesting. But apparently Verizon feels that it's worth their money to pay Apple to advertise 5G for them.Common denominator with a majority of these reported issues has been Verizon as the carrier. IMO they screwed up their 5G implementation. Most carriers figured out that MM wave is not going to be the saving grace of 5G because it requires to many small cells and antennas to service an area because of the signal limitations. At&t and T-Mobile/Sprint figured this out early and decided to re-farmed their lower band spectrum since they have a great deal of Mid / low band to work with. Verizon problem stems from not having enough spectrum to do the same. So they tried to plow ahead with the MM wave train and found out that it ran off the tracks and crashed pretty fast. They fell behind the other two in rollout and signal reach in dramatic fashion.
Here is when the screw up happened. They panicked big time and that couple years of sitting out these spectrum auctions have come to bite them in the rear big time. This was predicted years back on why they didn't go more aggressive in the spectrum auctions. So with more limited spectrum than the other two they had no choice but to try the DSS(Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) approach and that is where the implementation is screwed up. When you rush you don't properly test things and you get these types of problems.
At&t and T-Mobile have enough low and mid band spectrum that right now that they haven't even begun to do DSS yet as they are still testing that out. Everyone in the wireless game said that Verizon was being short sighted and sure enough they were right.
Still got to advertise to keep their numbers and churn within their vision. But they should of taken people advise and got some additional spectrum for 5G other than the MM Wave.Interesting. But apparently Verizon feels that it's worth their money to pay Apple to advertise 5G for them.
I'm having the same problem as OP using a Verizon 12 Pro and had zero issues with my 6S the entirety of the 5 years I had it.
I know someone who had similar issues with 10 Max but not sure how/if that was resolved when they bought the phone at release.
I'm going to be contacting Verizon as I dont believe this is an Apple issue. I am using the same sim I used in my 6S for years so perhaps that is an issue, but who knows. I didnt have any problems with this the first 2 weeks of ownership and this past week it's occurred multiple times.
Do you have a new 5g sim for that network?Not every carrier is having problems. As I have previously stated I am having no issues and in fact my signal strength has greatly improved. My husband got the 12 Pro and I have the 12 Pro Max. We both have a Sprint SIM which is part of T-Mobile. In addition, I have seen a few reports of issues with AT&T but it is nothing compared to Verizon issues.
I still think this is a compatibility issue with the iPhone 12 line and Verizon towers. Who is at fault remains to be seen.
I got a new SIMs for both phones from Sprint. I did not move the old SIM cards from either old phone to the new iPhone 12s. I was told by a Sprint tech that I have access to both Sprint and T-Mobile towers.Do you have a new 5g sim for that network?
