    iPhone 8, 8+, X announced

    I'm struggling to find the filings on the FCC's OET website for the iPhone X.  I've attempted to search under Grantee Code (BCG) and what I think is the Product Code A1865.  I've also scanned through every filing with a Final Action Date of today, looking for listings with lower / upper frequency ranges that correspond to B41.  It appears that they've changed the naming convention of the suffix of the FCC IDs which makes it more challenging:  Some are BCG-(Apple Model Number); Some are BCG-ExxxxA.  Can anyone please lead me to the filing for the iPhone X?  Thank you

    I noticed that all iPhone X advertisements note that it is yet to be FCC authorized. Maybe only the iPhone 8/8 Plus have gone thought so far?

    Official Magic Box discussion thread

    You are aware of the technical differences between the two devices??

     

    I have the airave, but when I walk out of my house, it pretty much loses it's ability to provide a reliable calling signal ...

    And 3G is all you're gonna get...

     

    The magic box is LTE... which means data only.

    You're not gonna improve you're calling by getting a magic box.

    You're not gonna get better data speeds by getting a Airave.

     

    Now, the upside to the MB, when sprint goes to VO-LTE, then you'll see the MB helping with calls.

    Until that point, you're gonna see calls on CDMA, and data on LTE.

     

    The airave is eventually going to become outdated...as the CDMA network begins to be shut-down...

    i'd say within 8-10 years is what is estimated for CDMA.

     

    Likely, if a merger of some kind occurs between Sprint + Tmo..it could happen sooner..

     

    I really don't pay much attention to my Airave anymore.

    Sometimes I run it for a couple weeks, sometimes i unplug it and let it sit..

     

    I try to leave it unplugged for a few days (so I will know when there is work in the area that could improve my reception)...

     

    I hope to see B26 soon in my area...or a 2nd B25 carrier...but with the airave, it's not going to be obvious to me at my house.

     

    (I will say this, the MB reaches a LOT farther than the airave. I get nearly 1/2 a mile of LTE around my house...which is really surprising for such a small device)

    I think he is referring to the Airave 3 coming out soon which includes LTE.

    I was in this area with the galaxy s8 on both occasions ... last time I couldn't get passed 30mbps, now I hit almost 60

    1) I’ve noticed sometimes certain servers in ABQ wont correctly show CA on ookla’s speedtest.

    2) Certain sites in ABQ had 2nd carrier weeks before CA started working.

    Some things that could be happening in your case

    If it helps, first and third as of 4 days ago only had 1 B25/26 antenna, second link is a GMO flagpole site with no LTE broadcasting, and the 4th is broadcasting b41. I didn't see exactly what type of antenna it had.

    In other news, I'm going to be in ABQ tomorrow - Sunday for a funeral. Flying in tomorrow afternoon, services on Saturday morning.

     

    How many sites have B41 on them now? Just curious about the network, haven't been there in a long time, don't think I even had a cell phone last time I was there.

     

    Anywhere I should go in the other time I have? Also, is Uber reliable there? I did not rent a car.

    Uber is pretty reliable during the day, rush hour traffic can cause you to be waiting while drivers hand you off to each other if your route needs the interstate. Can get pricey, most of the time only UberX available. B41 is on a handful of sites in the city.

    Hello all, so when I was exploring N NM, celebrating to finally have data in Toas, Angel Fire, etc. I noticed I was connected to b17 for a good while just NW of Las Vegas, NM . Didn't think much of it for a while until I noticed driving to SLC today, I have been connected to extended LTE on and off all of the way on 550 from Jemez, up to Farmington, and then 191 in Utah from four corners area all the way up to Salt Lake City. I am on my iPhone so not too much I can look up. I mostly am on B17 (EARFCN 5780) and occasionally B2 (EARFCN 1100). I went back to my screenshots and found out I also was connected to 5780 in NM. Is this AT&T?
