iPhone 14 Pro Max Issues with 14 Pro Max on AT&T-1 bar or SOS only?

[bobcaryh]

Hi all,
Using my Iphone 14 pro max and since I got it, I am having signal issues on AT&T. Happens while at work in a brick building. Same place I have sat for 2 years. Previous phones got 3/4 bars on at&t. With the new 14, I get either 1 and the phone hardly works, or just get the SOS only icon. Nothing whatsoever has changed with my location and the cell tower hasn't moved. Only thing different is my phone. Is anyone else having similar issues with AT&T? Thanks!!

I walk around the corner from my office into a lounge,wich is literally a foot through the wall and get 3 bars instantly, walk back to office,SOS only. I cant figure this out. Pondering going to Apple and swapping phone out.

Have you called AT&T yet? Cuz I had similar issues last year with my 13PM and they came back this year with my 14PM. AT&T was able to do something that fixed it. Not sure exactly what, some eSIM thing I assume.

Not just 14, might be any phone on iOS 16, as I've had wonky ATT service on my SE 2020.

And on Verizon as well.

.2 update along with a network reset seemed to settle things down for me (read: have not noticed network issues when off wifi).

I haven't messaged AT&T yet,I will try that now. I tried the reset network settings to no avail. Turned off wifi and bluetooth. It's screwy and the only thing different is the phone. Maybe I will try reinstalling the ios later.
