Just got a iPhone 6 and noticed the reception bars are less than what I used to get with my old phone. I am only getting 2 bars where I would 4 bars before. I did a field test comparison and the phone 6 is getting -110 and a droid is getting -97. Anyone out there notice there bars are showing less then what they are used to seeing.

Anyone out there seeing this?
 
I have a 6 plus and noticed last night that in a store that I could talk on the 4s in I have no service at all on the 6 plus.
 
I went from a 5 to a 6 and my reception is very bad. Dropped calls, can't call out, it's driving me crazy. Apple says its Verizon, Verizon says they are looking into it.
I'm at the point of going back to my 5 and if that solves it the 6 will go.
 
I've notice bad reception as well, I'm on Tmobile. I've called Tmobile, and was told it was an issue with the iPhone 6, said they have received a few complains from iPhone 6 users. I never had this issue on my 5S.
 
I'm on Verizon. LTE signal strength on my 6 Plus is identical to my 5S.

Turn off VoLTE.
