Not for me. Still sitting at 0 bars on campus when I would always have 1-2. It is not my phone and not the network. 3 XS all have the same issue, meanwhile my buddy's 8Plus has 1-2 bars like I always did.
Got a tip for us?

It almost looks like it is base 16 though? If that is the case then 404 - 366 = 9E or 158 Base 10
So ... 158 versions then.
Can you double check the Verizon carrier version? Mine is now at 33.1 after the update. Minor, but figured I'd mention.
And thanks for posting this Banglazed!

If I recall correctly, that carrier update was out for Verizon right around the time that iOS 12.0 was released a few weeks ago.
I concur. I supplied the Verizon carrier firmware version 33.1 in another thread and post. I received this update to both my iPhone 8 Plus and iPad Pro on iOS 12.0 release day.
There's no modem firmware update, at least on my X so I can't see how this would affect any LTE issues.
Ok, I guess I'm missing something. The release notes from the thread today show 33.0, but we're all agreeing that Verizon is on 33.1
The modern firmware and carrier version are normally copy-pasted from previous iOS 12 so users on this firmware can verify and update the wiki for others. I've updated the Verizon version to 33.1 on the wiki.
Have you tried to restart your device and re-test? If not, reset network settings.
No luck. Just did a network reset. Same speed. I want having any problem like most people have. My speed were good but now this update most have done something and cripple my data.
I know someone with the same problem. At least both of them but they have a gold iphone and they having freezing issues but we got our phones the same time
As for the XS Max WiFi issues:
Nope. The 5Ghz WiFi is still weak and cuts off at half the distance vs older iPhones and iPads. Which means slow speeds and cuts when your signal is less than optimal. The only change is the preferring for 5ghz which wasn’t really the issue. As it was only dropping 5ghz early due to low signal and switching to the next known network which was 2.4ghz. I worked with Apple engineers as well and sent my logs in.
I looked at the logs and found that the XS Max had -10dBm average lower signal vs older iPhones.
Attached is my iPad in the same position as my XS Max, it gets 8 mbps vs 229mbps on my iPad and also drops the connection frequently. I tested a iPhone 7 Plus as well and it had no issue in the same position, frankly it got over 200 as well.
I’m blaming hardware on this one. This also explains the odd LTE issues.

I updated my iPhone Xs Max, my wifes iPhone Xs and our iPad Pro 12-inch 2.Gen and the results according to our Ubiquiti UniFi-controller is basically the same. We have 2x Ubiquiti UniFi AC HD (Qualcomm-Atheros QCA9994 chipset) access points and the results are pretty consistent.
The issue with iPhone Xs and Xs Max isn't throughput. Its fully capable of maintaining great 802.11ac RX and TX rates when located in short proximity of the access points. Speed test also verifies that its fully capable of using our 500/500 mbit bandwidth. There are no real issues there.
But the signal strength is disturbing even when located in close proximity. In my computer room sitting just 1 meter from the Access Point it's reporting a signal strength of 79% (-59 dBm). Our HomePod in the same room is reporting 99% (-47 dBm) and the HomePod in the hallway a few meters away is reporting 97% (-52 dBm). My Apple Watch Series 4 is reporting 84% (-43 dBm) but the Apple Watch doesn't seem to be supporting 5.0GHz so it's connected using 802.11n on 2.4GHz with 40Hz channel width and not to the 802.11ac on 5.0GHz with 80Hz channel width.
It becomes worse when you start moving away from the access points. The iPhone Xs and Xs Max drops the signal quality and strength much more rapidly than any other device which is being confirmed by the UniFi-controller.
It's not that much of a problem as we have stellar coverage at home with 2x UniFi AC HD access points. But at work for instance with a single Aerohive Access Point I notice that my iPhone Xs Max keeps dropping the connection when moving towards the toilet and coffee area of the work space. My iPhone X would lose connection when entering the toilet at times, but my iPhone Xs Max is dropping it consistently.
It's the same for LTE/4G, during my daily commute my iPhone X would sometimes drop connection, especially through tunnels while on the train. But my iPhone Xs Max is dropping it consistently when going through the tunnel, without exception where my iPhone X would do it seldomly. I also notice that it seems to fall back to 3G a lot more compared to the iPhone X.
Strange.
I have the X and am currently on the 12.1 beta but have seen no update to Install...
Am I overlooking something?
You won't have 12.0.1 update because you're on a higher build 12.1 beta. Normally, the beta already encompasses the following fixes in the general public release. If you want to hop off the beta, just delete the profile, restart and update to public build. Speculating the next beta maybe tomorrow, maybe a cellular fix?

BTW - not the most tech savvy one so appreciate the info!
