Yes, me too. Switching around 5g, LTE, 4g most take so much time in the background I can’t get website loading when this happens. So I disabled 5g for now. I wonder when I can turn it back on?
Got a tip for us?

Nope because these numbers start before the pro Max even launched.
Wow, nice. Maybe I shoulda gone with t mobile when I switched carriers. Xfinity mobile has been less than impressive.
Same on AT&T. I think it'll be awhile before the hype matches the experience. Hopefully we don't have another Verizon sponsored iphone event in 2021.
I wish I could give my iPhone MAX back.
Not impressed with it at all. The audio cuts in and out during phone calls. same problem with iPhone 8 Plus
battery drains too fast
really disappointed in APPLE quality over the last few years
I love my Note 20 and my samsung S20 Ultra better than any apple phone.
My Next Mac will be a Hackintosh with an 18 Core i9 EXTREME! I build myself.

I was hoping that we'd have VoLTE around 2015 because the carriers had deployed LTE Advanced. I'm still waiting for LTE to be most everywhere.
I was getting 100 Mbps download in 2017 with Sprint but they hadn't even switched to LTE Advanced yet.
Apple's simpler, but premium phone seems to do the best every time. Wasn't the 10XR the best seller of that time?
I knew the new iPhone 12 series would be a big seller. Samsung isn’t even close. That has got to be frustrating for Sammy, especially since they always want to be first with the new must have features.
5G is definitely faster than LTE in some spots here in Oklahoma but it’s not what it was hyped up to be. I’m on AT&T and on the Northside of OKC I got “okay” speeds of around 20-25 mbps on 5G but when I went to Shawnee (~ 45 mi East of OKC) to see my parents it went up to 160.
None of these are anywhere close to the 500-2000 mbps we were promised. But it’s more than usable I guess.

Apple has never made any speed promises to users of the 5G phones.
On MacRumors, having to get out of bed for many people here is enough reason to hate the new 5G phones.I am getting much better speeds over 5G than LTE with AT&T on a 12 Pro Max.
I also do not get all the 5G hate going on here.
Sure yeah, but I never said Apple did. More like the carriers that said these things and I guess unless you’re in range of mmWave tower you’re not gonna see those amazing speeds.
A lot of people aren’t happy with their 5G speed, even though anything above 25Mbps is enough to stream HD video.
I am on T-mobile as well and I have my phone set to 5G ON. For my usual travel areas, I get 75 - 150Mbps.
The carriers speak of, and show top speed numbers and then many people assume that those high speeds are available everywhere, even though their current LTE speeds are not consistent. I don’t see that as anything different than what has been occurring all along. People shouldn’t make assumptions.
Imagine the clucking from the MR Apple hate club if Apple hadn’t owned the top spots 🤣
Can’t take that graph seriously since all those twos are different length bars, and so are the threes, and neither is proportional to the four, the eight, or the sixteen.
I guess if you have no clue just blame apple.
If AAPL had priced the 12 @ $699 USD (& the 12 mini @ $599 USD):
1.) 12 goes up by 50%, to 24% market share !
2.) 12 Pro goes up by ~2%, to ~10% market share (due to increased interest in the iPhone 12 family, strictly because of the more-attractive Pricing of the 6.1" iPhone 12; typically called Foot Traffic, but in CY2020, I'll call it On Line Interest).
And Make NO Mistake, Tim Cook knows he OVER-priced the 12 !
The Sales delta between the two models should be in the ~2.5x-3x range !
That's where AAPL maximizes sales.
That's simply based-upon past History, going back 5+ years.
Also, NOT Rocket Science, Common Sense says ONLY so many will ante-up for a $1K USD OR more iPhone !
BTW, if Apple has Priced the iPhone 12 @ $649 USD, they very-likely would have gotten the (desired) 3x Sales delta !
It is my personal opinion that they Priced it the way they did, so that it would Force the Carriers to discount the (two) lower-end (i.e., NON-Pro) models.
