Resolved Verizon quality degrading

[timeconsumer]

Has anyone noticed lately if Verizon seems like it’s getting worse? Seems to be the case for me.

I’m using an iPhone 7 Plus, does anyone know if it can support those new improvements or would I need to upgrade to a 8 plus?

I don’t think iPhone 8, 8+ or X support it. 2018 iPhones look like they will support it though:

Article is from November 2017 so a bit old...

Thanks, I’ll wait until the 2018 iPhones release and upgrade then. I know when I used a Pixel 2 I did notice an improvement in signal quality.

In the past month or so, I've noticed I've been falling back to 3G much more often than usual on Verizon while using my iPhone X. I had a Note 8 with 4x4 MIMO for awhile and the reception was noticeably better so I'd expect the same if Apple supports it on the next iPhones.

While Apple is a leader in many high profile innovations like Face ID, for some reason they usually fall behind in more mundane connectivity standards. I'm sure most Android flagships will have 5G a year before Apple finally adopts it on an iPhone.
