They are not when it compares to reception.
Must be a US thing, had absolutely no issues with signal with any of my iPhones.
read his posts. He is an engineer who researches antenna design. He was called a crack pot last year when he said the Xs and XS Max would have reception issues in areas with weak signals. The antenna gains were far worse than previous models, and he was proved right. The guy is a genius.
This is what people dont understand. For example. The worse the gain, the worse the reception in weak areas. The Pro has an antenna gain of -2 to -6 db worse than the X. So lets say 1 bar on an X is -110 db, and the Pro would be -112 to -116 db. The X would remain locked on, while the Pro would lose that connection. You dont notice the difference until you are in a weak area. The last 2 years, the iPhone has got worse when it comes to weak signals.
He seems to be US based so my point still stands, not heard this complaint in the UK or anywhere else.
It has been reported elsewhere with last year’s models. The 11’s have the same antenna design as last year. There are lots of threads about poor reception of last years models from around the world, including the UK.
I think the point was that regardless the specifics and severity of these signal issues, they alone probably do not make the X an all-round better phone than the Pro.
