Hello! I happen to have received my lovely blue iPhone 12 Pro today and have had my iPhone 11 Pro for a year. I loved it. Great device. Absolute killer reception on both LTE and Wifi. But wow. I have a Cisco Meraki network at my property and in my main usage area I am using a Meraki MR52 which is a flagship indoor access point of the last couple years. 4 spatial streams, 4 antennas, Wave 2, its amazing. So for kicks I put my 11 Pro next to my 12 Pro on a table in the same orientation (to control for antenna exposure) about 30 feet away and this was the result. I left it there for a good 10 minutes, then thought maybe the access point should be restarted (hence the short connected times) but sure enough it fluctuates between being a 3-8db (!!!) difference between the devices. That is astoundingly better. In my eyes its a true case of good to great. But WOW that is amazing. Below is the readout with identifying marks redacted of my client management window in the Meraki dashboard. You can see the 11 Pro and the 12 Pro are the last two devices connected and above them you see my 16" MacBook Pro coming in at 23db but its significantly farther away and behind a wall. The rest of the devices are quite close by the access point hence their high scores.
I also confirmed with an assistant who held both phones 1 foot apart at chest height to get the upright orientation of the antennas (it matters quite a bit actually) and the delta closed to about 3db average, so its less of a difference but still that is unreal at a more horizontal orientation.
