You didn’t talk about what you’ve done to remedy the issues. Have you contacted your cellular provider? Have you contacted Apple? Have you tried using your cellular network from various locations? You just jumped to the conclusion that all of your new iPhones are defective. Doubtful.
All this doesn’t sound dramatic, it’s just common sense. Obviously a trollish behavior or venting.
 
Clearly you either have a problem specific to the iPhone you’re using or the network you’re connecting with. I suspect the latter.

While I’m sure some people have problems with their iPhone 16 Pro do you think you’d be the first to discover these major defects warranting a recall six months after it was released?
Considering they are a new account that doesn’t respond to anything, prooobably not.
 
New member, one post criticizing and stirring up people, without any specifics or replies, then they're gone.

It's a troll, folks..

I think ya’ll are likely correct. It’s a shame people are so silly sometimes
 
We upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro for the entire family. Each one of us individually have had many issues from drop calls, poor Internet, and 5G connection. Often we must turn the phone off and back on to reestablish connection. Worst phone I’ve ever had. I wish I had my iPhone 12 Pro Max back. Apple should admit that this phone has many issues and intern, address them. There should be a recall similar to when automotive companies recall a car once an obvious issue has been detected. Very disappointed.
Poor Android baby crying in his beer.

Maybe the initial excitement of a new product just wore off? After all, the iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max are basically the same phone, apart from the number on the box, a new side button that does nothing, and your wallet being noticeably lighter.

Sounds like you have a carrier problem. Try a different cell service provider
 
I have only had the 16 pro max since may 10th and it’s best iPhone I have had to date .
I upgraded from my iPhone XR and the 16PM has been great no issues and once iOS 26 comes it will be even better.
 
I bought an iPhone 16 - not the Max. It's the worst phone I've ever had - often can't connect to the internet via wifi or my mobile service. Absolutely fed up with it - it's driving me round the bend. Apple needs to sort this out asap. Other Apple devices that I own have no problem at all, connecting to WiFi.
What were the results of your comms with Apple [Level 2] tech support? I would hope that you spent a bunch of time there before coming here.
