I would imagine it is the ATT model, as it is whatever they gave me at the Apple Store when I said I was on AT&T. Connected it to my service in store.
EDIT: yeah, it says A1778 on the regulatory screen

Makes things interesting because you have a different chipset (Intel). All my ATT testing has been done on a Verizon (Qualcomm) model.
There's even replies to the Gizmodo article saying it is happening on an iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S. So this is hopefully and probably an iOS 10 issue.
Hi there,
I've updated my A1661 model VZW 7+ to iOS 10.1 Beta 2, build 14B55c, and I'm still on carrier version 25.5, and even plugging the phone into iTunes doesn't yield an update to 26.0. How did you get on that version? Lots of outdoor areas where I usually would drop are now back to normal, some with better reception then ever.

That's strange it's supposed to be bundled with the iOS update. Usually you can invoke it by going to the general settings menu.

My signal now at work keeps bouncing between 2-4 dots of LTE then crashes to no service out of nowhere then to full 3G. I would brush it off as low LTE signal causing it to drop to 3G at a certain threshold, but if I can get 3-4 dots of LTE, what's causing it to jump down randomly?
I am having the same issues call dropping, one dot,(I'm on my 3rd phone and returning it tomorrow again) and when i use my son's 6s no issues. My phone freezes on the contact or call screen can't make a dam call have to close it out 2 and three times before it works again. We do all need a fix!

Lol sorry I had to reply to his tweet. Remember, he's a senior VP of wireless customer relations or something. Hammer away! He/they ignored my last twitter message to them last week.

As someone else has stated in a thread earlier, I highly doubt Apple would go down the bad antenna path again.

This whole situation and the seeming lack of care by Apple and Verizon are unacceptable. Back to android I go. Thanks to all for the insight and assistance with the iphone/ios. Perhaps we'll meet again when the 8 comes out.
The fact that neither Apple nor Verizon have figured this out is disturbing. Could be a unfixable flaw.

Currently it's for developers only; there isn't yet a public beta of 10.2 beta 2.
While I'm doubting this is an antenna design problem, I'll still share a stray observation...
I've noticed that my iPhone 7 causes interference noise on my studio monitor speakers that are well grounded with a ground loop isolator. I'm not THAT techy, so it is just an observation, as I haven't heard those characteristic cell phone blips breaking into my speakers in years.

Do you have what carrier? GSM phones used to always interfere with speakers when they are close while on lower frequency bands such as 850.

Exactly! It's happening here in the UK also. I had trouble with mine but got it replaced within 14 days and now it's working BUT the signal dots are going crazy from one dot to five dots to No service. This would never happen on my 6S Plus it was very stable with signal.
Out of curiosity has anyone tried iOS 10.1 Beta 2 to see if it fixes this issue?

I've had the problem of my Verizon iPhone 6 not returning to LTE without doing the airplane mode toggle for a long time. It happens when I pass through an area with low signal and it drops to either no coverage or 1x ... then fails to return to LTE when it's in a known good area. Repeatable on my daily train commute in and out of NYC.

It really doesn't look good it's been almost 3 weeks and no fix

I think that's wishful thinking considering it's happening with many different networks across both chipset intel and Qualcomm I ran ios10 since 1st public beta and these issues never happened I hope that it is a software issues I'm but I'm skeptical

I got a replacement last Thursday and phones been working but signal taking major jumps so still think there's an issue. I'm almost scared to try 10.1 Beta 2 but if I see more posts in here I might take the plunge
Ok I took the plunge and updated to iOS 10.1 Beta 2 and my carriers setting are now up from 25.1 to 26.0 and my signal hasn't wobbled once so hopefully this could be the fix we have all been waiting for

I've been having issues since I got my 7+, running iOS 10.1 beta 1. When I had my 6s, I never lost service no matter where I'd go, I always had solid LTE. Now with my 7+, I get mostly 3G & 1x. Since I've updated to iOS 10.1 beta 2 yesterday, I haven't had a problem up to now. I've had a solid LTE connection.
