    Fantastic explanation. Thanks! -Anthony

    Is it using both at once? Like carrier aggregation? B66/2 being used for download and upload (like primary carrier) and n41 only being used for download (like secondary carrier)? Again, apologies for the probably basic question lol. -Anthony

    Wait, so what's the difference between T-Mobile's 2.5GHz 5G and Sprint's 2.5GHz 5G, that causes older 5G phones that could connect to Sprint's implementation to not be able to connect to T-Mobile's? I figured it would just be a PLMN change or something (if that's even a thing with 5G). Apologies at my lack of understanding of 5G. It's been awhile since I've been active on the forum and I'm going off my previous LTE knowledge. Feel free to link something that may help me understand better 😅 -Anthony

    Definitely, I agree. I’m curious if anything has cropped up in either iOS 14 or previous versions to make a widget possible. -Anthony
  5. anthony.spina97
    iOS 14 will probably make this app sightly less useful. They redesigned the Field Test screens to be much more useful and pleasing to look at. -Anthony

    12.4 beta 1 has been released today. Appears to be the last release of iOS 12 before 13 comes out, and will most likely be the super-polished version of iOS 12 that the devices that are having support dropped in iOS 13 will be stuck with. -Anthony

    Am I wrong when I look at that map and it looks like the T-Mobile map is their LTE coverage (in light pink) and their "potential 5G coverage" (in dark pink) whereas the Sprint map is just "potential 5G coverage"? Because that's what it looks like to me. If that's the case, no wonder the maps look so drastically different. -Anthony

    Most likely not your issue. If you are pulling 80 Mbps on speed tests then you are most definitely not connected to Band 26. Even if your phone switched to Band 26 during your data session, it shouldn't time out because it can continue the data session across different bands, unless there is some other issue present. Someone more knowledgeable about Band 26 tuning and such should be able to correct me if I'm wrong, but my guess is it's something else other than Band 26 needing to be tuned. -Anthony

    I'm coming to NYC next weekend for a concert with some friends and I'm really looking forward to experiencing the amazing network and VoLTE for the first time. Gonna be awesome! -Anthony
  10. anthony.spina97
    Yup. On Intel devices it should be under LTE > Serving Cell Meas > phy_cell_id I believe. -Anthony
  11. anthony.spina97
    Yup, definitely going to be getting one of these for the house. -Anthony

    Unless of course you are internationally roaming. My phone showed Telus when I was in Vancouver a few months ago and roaming via Global Roaming. -Anthony

    iPhone Xs and Xs Max have 12.1. I’m running it currently on my Xs Max. It was only the first couple days that 12.1 beta 1 was out that there wasn’t an IPSW for the new phones. -Anthony
  14. anthony.spina97
    Hmm interesting. I guess we’ll see what happens next bill! -Anthony
  15. anthony.spina97
    Funny that when he's mentioning if you're on "X carrier you're doing it wrong" he doesn't mention Sprint. I love it! What I don't love is I'm beginning to like John. What is happening to me?? -Anthony

    I have had my XS Max since yesterday around noon and can say that so far I haven't experienced any issues with WiFi or LTE connectivity. I have what appears to be the same or better LTE performance as compared to my X. Also, I bought mine from Apple and put my Sprint info in when I ordered it. All I did when I opened the box yesterday was remove the SIM from my X, turn it off, and then power on the XS Max. Activated during setup without any issues. Been loving it so far! My Series 4 also just got here today. I had a Series 3 that I got back in June of this year on IB, and upgraded to the Series 4. Not sure how I was eligible, but when I was ordering the device I didn't see anything about getting a return kit with my new device to send the old one back. And when I go to Sprint's website I don't see anything about my Series 3 on it anymore now that I've activated my Series 4. I'm unsure when/if I can return the old device. -Anthony

    Does the iPhone XS not come with a SIM in it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't you be able to have a Sprint SIM in the device and use the eSIM for whatever other carrier you want? I might not understand how eSIM works but just curious. -Anthony
  18. anthony.spina97
    My exact thoughts lmao. -Anthony
  19. anthony.spina97
    9.1 inches. Oof. -Anthony

    I would say the XR is similar enough to the XS and XS Max that it could be contained in this thread as well, but considering that it is meant to be the iPhone for the masses, it may warrant it's own thread. -Anthony

    My parents and sister are still on the Framily plan. I will log onto my parents account and let you know if I can change anything. -Anthony

    I have been seeing $699-$749 for the 6.1'' LCD iPhone, $899 for the 2018 iPhone X, and $999 for the 2018 iPhone X Plus. All rumors/speculation of course. -Anthony
  23. anthony.spina97
    Yup, that download to upload ratio is definitely T-Mobile. -Anthony

    Welcome to the club! I've had mine for a year now and still use them every day! Even bought my Mother a pair for Mother's day because she loved mine so much. -Anthony

    Just to chime in, I find the Magic Box very useful in my home because we have home internet that goes out at least once a week, and therefore need a backup plan for those times when the internet is out. It gives me reliable internet access when the home ISP goes down. Plus, when connected to a UPS, I also have usable internet for news and emergency updates in the event of a power outage, which happens often during storms. I go from being on 1 bar of B26 to 4 bars of B41, with the box being connected to a B41 site that I otherwise don't have access to in or around my home. Also a small benefit is having full signal all the time without my device constantly switching between weak B26 and 3G. The battery life savings really add up. Plus being able to make VoLTE phone calls from my home when VoLTE is rolled out will be nice too. All of these are things that WiFi cannot do. Sure, a lot of these problems have solutions or workarounds, all of which require more time, effort and, more importantly, money, than a box that you simply connect to power and never touch again. It almost works like... magic? -Anthony
