I actually like the product red iPhone. A lot of people are mad about it having the white front but the colors for PR are red and white. I want to get the phone but honestly it's something I shouldn't buy since the 8 is months away. Besides, it was like pulling teeth to get my jet black plus lol.

I agree. with waiting.  I still have the 6S+.  With HPUE being deployed, hopefully the 8 will incorporate the technology.  I would love to have 3CA but if another upgrade is necessary to have HPUE, I will wait.

 

Jet black is more appealing.  Red, for those in Columbus who love scarlet, does have its own appeal.

I think most people like the new red iPhone. Apple just dropped the ball on the screen bezel color for 99% of buyers, though. I'd be seriously interested in switching if the front was black.

There are cheaper options than this, but here his a Zagg screen cover to turn it black for you:

I went out and purchased the Red iPhone yesterday. The white front isn't as big of a deal as I thought. This is my first personal iPhone device. I have an iPhone 6 for work purposes and I'm limited as to what I can do with it. So far I'm liking the device.

And as of Friday, the 17 month lease option is gone on Sprint.com. Talk about scaling back options.

I wonder how many utilized it. The two year upgrade cycle has been shoved down our throats for so long I wonder if most were picking 24 months.

Probably most people were picking 18 mo leases and 24 month Installment billing because the pricing didn't look so crazy compared to the 17 month option.

28.3 is new, I'm on the beta still (will upgrade to the release version of 10.3 when I get home from class) and it updated it to 28.3 from 28.0 or 28.1 I believe.

 

Wireless Carplay, however, came out with the release of iOS 9. So about a year and a half ago. Not much supports it at the moment, but hopefully auto manufacturers will start supporting more soon.

I wonder if the new carrier update improves HD voice between Wi-Fi calling and macro network Sprint calls. I think that's currently the only situation in which HD voice doesn't work now, right? (Assuming Sprint to Sprint calls)

Does HD voice work at all with WiFi calling enabled on iPhones? I went to activate it on my Bolt and my sisters iPhone 7 and I recall seeing something that enabling WiFi calling would deactivate HD voice completely even when not using WiFi calling, among other things.

Nope, that's fixed now. (On the iPhone at least) HD voice will work on cellular to cellular calls even if wifi calling is enabled. And wifi to wifi calls on iPhone are HD voice now, too. Mixed cellular/wifi calls seem to be the only non-HD calls now.

I'm new to iPhone and iOS. When I owned android phones in the past every 4-6 months I would perform a factory reset on my device to clean it up. Is that necessary with iOS?

 

The reason I ask is my wife has a 6s plus that she says has been running slower than normal. When that happened with my android device I would normally do a factory reset.

Hopefully not.  Make sure all of the updates are done for iOS.  If it is a Sprint phone, also run ##UPDATE# from the dialer.  That should help as well.

You should NOT have to.  Just power down the device and turn it back on.  Usually with the iOS updates. the device does a soft reset anyways.

Anyone here with a 7plus update to to 10.3.1?

 

I'm wanting to know if band 41 connectivity has gotten any better. Seems like this device loves to camp on band 25 and 26.

I don't experience this at all....Mostly on b41 in Columbus, OH.

On occasion I will answer a call to hear very digital sounds/static or even a weird phenomenon where it sounds like every half second is cut out like I'm talking through some large industrial fan. Hang up and immediately redial out to them and no problem. This has only happened on incoming calls and it's happened from people on ATT, Verizon, and Virgin

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
