iPhone XS Who's NOT having issues with their Xs?

I am switching to a White XSMAX my guess is that the poor reception is due to the gold coating color reflecting RF signal.
The answer to this thread is, millions of people.
It’s the same thing with every iPhone release. There will always be a vocal group who have a problem, but people whose phones are working perfectly have little reason to come online just to say so. For every one reporting an issue, there’s probably like a thousand just enjoying their phone.
Which is not to say that the issues aren’t real, it’s just that the internet gives a skewed perception of how widespread they are.

Not my wife and I (we have no issues with our Xs MAX (512GB) Gold and Space Grey).
If I only paid attention to Macrumors threads I'd think my phone completely a failure, useless, full of problems, and a waste of my hard earned money. People love to complain and to be outraged, it attracts attention and 20-40+ page threads. They do it every year with every release. Are the phones perfect? Nope. Can you find flaws with anything we humans make if you look hard enough? Yep. Will my wife and I get 2-3-4+ years of happy use out of these phones? Most likely, as we have with our last phones (8+, 6s+, 6+, 5, 4s).

No problems with the Xs here in Austria. My new Xs outperforms my old 8. No problems with LTE or WiFi, no problems with charging. LTE, 3G and E performance compared with field test mode with X, 8 and even a 7... the Xs is as good as the others... download speed here in Austria’s A1 network improved to 220 Mbps ( 160 with my 8) and upload to 90 (60 with my 8). WiFi performance as before with a clear preference for my 5 GHz network...
