I will say going from the 15 PM with an x70 to the 17 PM with the x80 has made little difference at my home. Upload speeds are a bit faster but the difference has been minimal.
Got a tip for us?

You mean comparison between iPhone Air Modem and iPhone Pro Max modem? Too early give it another week or so.
I will be excited to hear more details about the C2 Modem next year. The C1 has been getting good reviews on performance and how it saves on battery 🔋 life efficiently.
They may need to do a modem update as the phone just launched. You have Verizon or T-Mobile?
Nothing yet. Waiting for this, too. Expecting X80 to be superior. Just like the Samsung OLED in the Pro Max vs the LG in the Air.
Don't think it'll be a whole week given how quickly full teardowns and battery tests come out these days. I think a couple of days or so we'll have something
Confirmed iPhone 17 base is also X80.
Love the teardowns on this channel. Always the go to see what's changed year on year
Either Apple or T-mobile may need to do a Firmware Modem Update on the new phones.
I wanna see how the iPhone Air C1X modem performs. Thinking about getting the Air.
Haven’t noticed anything substantial at this time. Also haven’t done a ton of traveling with it yet. Areas that were weak are still weak, but I wasn’t expecting a new modem to magically fix that.
Try turning off the phone for 4 minutes and then turn back on after 4 minutes.
Apple may still do a Firmware update for the modem in the near future.
