Maybe quarantine is getting to me but I’m tired of putting my iPhone XR on airplane mode, or resetting network settings all day with xfinity mobile! Sometimes it even buffers Spotify, this is at the beginning of the month when data is reset too.

really looking at the iPhone 11 Pro Max, but I’ll be getting the 12 pro max as well. iPhone 11 until that time or just go for top dog?? Thanks lol

I don't even understand your post. Do you have wifi problems? Or cellular problems? Maybe you need to contact your provider instead. Some carriers just don't play nice with iPhones for some reason. It is worst in places like my country where majority of people ending up on cellular network due to WFH, saturating and crippling even the nation's largest provider.

Okay, I’ll say what everyone else is thinking, what the hell are you talking about? LOL

Sounds to me as if you had issues with your carrier rather than with the phone. Are you able to switch to a more stable WiFi connection?
 
I had issues with Verizon in my area. Switched to AT&T and now my iPhone works great. If that hadn’t worked I was thinking of switching to Samsung lol
 
Are you on 2,4 or 5GHz Wifi? For some reason lately our Apple TV has been crap if we use 2.4 even thought it didn't do it before and everything else is fine on either one. Try connecting to 5GHz if your router supports it.
 
I went to from Sprint to T-Mobile and the reception in my area improved 100%. My work was near a Sprint dead zone I guess.

Any close neighbors? Airwaves are a shared resource and 2.4GHz travels farther than 5GHz so potentially, your neighbor's wi-fi could be interfering with yours.

This may not have been an issue before when the neighbors were probably at work or at restaurants, malls, movie theaters, etc. Now with everyone at home probably watching Netflix quite possibly watching different videos on multiple devices at the same time... Well, it's probably like rush hour traffic in SoCal. Gotta say, it looks so weird seeing all that green on SigAlert.
