Are there any real world tests of how well Apples C1 modem does in establishing and maintaining a connection in areas with spotty coverage, vs a Qualcomm modem ?
I just got a 16e a few weeks ago and went on my first road trip. The reception was awful in rural areas. My wife’s iPhone 11 had 4 bars of LTE and all I had was Satellite SOS. We are on the same carrier. This was spread over multiple days of driving so it wasn’t just one area. She would give me a wry smile as she offered to hot spot me…
Really disappointing. I would even sacrifice some battery life if I needed to. Or boost the signal if I’m plugged into power.
