x75 modem

Iphone 16 series is confirmed to have X71M modem, not x75, as shown in teardowns. It seems to be a upgraded x70, rather than an x75 based modem.

All done!

A month later and this site is finally live. Not getting gig+ download speeds yet but uploads on this site are insane.

If anyone was curious what a flagpole site looks like after getting an n41 upgrade. Came across this one in Staten Island. Terrible wiring but decent speeds and great ping.

Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.

Stopped by again today and the antennas are up but it isn't live just yet. If other Sprint conversions are anything to go by it'll likely take about a month for the site to go live.

Another weird site upgrade. This is eNB 47152/gNB 1096256. It was originally built as a Band 12/66 mini-macro. Right now it's only broadcasting n25. The antennas don't look any different than they did before so I'm thinking it may just be a radio upgrade as opposed to a completely new set of antennas. I'm curious if it's also broadcasting n71.
