iPhone 14 Pro Models Feature Qualcomm's X65 Modem for Faster 5G Speeds and Longer Battery Life

Every day here in NE Ohio. I get about 600- 750Mbps down at work and around town mostly and 300-500Mbps down at my house with T-Mobile 5gUC.
Signal strength is arbitrary. It all depends how they calibrate the icon. What should be better is speed. Are the speeds faster with the 14?
Speeds are shown in chart up and down load I would say they are at least as good as 5g on my 13 ProMax.
Yes they are especially when signal was closer here is my revord in this app. It’s twice as fast in some cases than last phone in recorded speedtest log (marked by black)
Just out reports on speeds with several major carriers and new modem, comparing with 13 Pros
iPhone 14 Pro can achieve up to 38% faster 5G speeds - 9to5Mac
At this point, we already know a lot about the new iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max. When...

That’s a big boost in speeds. I’d also like to see a weak signal test from the 13 and 14.
Hopefully will be more tests as the days go by this appeared in several places today
If s22 an indicator, 14 pro should have noticeably better reception in fringe areas comparing to 13. Do you guys agree?
This morning another media (MacRumors) posted same information. So not any new tests want to see more detailed reports now sometimes folks give more technical details. I remember looking at data on my phone in previous years to look at signal strength for the tower near us that is not very strong (we are too far) but forget how to do that now as not something I do every day LOL.
Its interesting AT&T not shown which is my carrier.
So what did they find with s22 I never follow details on phones I do not use ;-)
I don't follow other phones either. But looks like not many phones use X65 and S22 has it. Some people claimed that fringe reception on S22 is better than Iphone 13 and I even found online media claiming that:
Pixel 7, Samsung S22 & iPhone 13: Which one has the Best Signal Reception
Technology has advanced so much that people are slowly losing track of what life was like just one decade ago. Kids today have probably never heard of VHS, film cameras, and so on. In fact, only 15 years ago, mobile phones were so simple that there were no cameras, no GPS, not even color...
Iphone 14 Pro may have different antenna's so reception may differ from S22 using same X65 modem
