Useless iPhone 12...

Dear Abby:

So the wife and I switched to Verizon last month and walked out w 2 new phones...her, iPhone 12 mini; me, Samsung GS 21.

I'm the android holdout here, and have been taking a beating for years as to superiority of apple products... My entire family has joined the Borg...daughters, SIL, grandkids, etc.

I sit on the couch and have 5 bars (cellular)...put a cell strength app on my phone and see -65 db. She has zero zip ungatz nada. Drops calls, loses service, etc. Been an issue since day 1. Apple care, resets, etc etc. NFG.

Seems this is a big issue for Apple w the 12s. Many many posts about call dropping.

Am I evil to gloat?

Finally- a credible post. Ungatz?

VZ actually sent us a "cellular network extender" for free.
Have the antenna mounted to the fixed portion of a sliding glass door. No joy.

YMMV
 
We have the 12 max pros. Best iphones we have ever had. Long battery life, no dropped calls and lots of bars. Have read though battery life is a problem after the 14.6 update. Not ours so far!
 
I'm gonna guess the difference in the volume of the design and related antenna placement issues.

[h=1]Furious iPhone users say Apple’s latest update is killing battery life...[/h]

((iPhone users who have installed Apple’s latest software update, iOS 14.6, are complaining that it’s draining their batteries — sometimes killing a full charge in mere hours.


Apple customers slammed the company’s Community Forum and Twitter this week with gripes about the May 24 update.


“My battery life on iOS 14.6 is terrible… is it just me or anyone is experiencing this thing too??” wrote one user.


Another chimed in, “after iOS 14.5 and 14.6 updates, my device has been awful. Mostly the battery life. But iOS 14 was a TOTAL TRAIN WRECK.”


Many owners of older iPhone models complained about the update’s destructive impact on battery life.


“The situation is so bad that I can not work with the iPhone 7 for 2 hours and it runs out of charge,” one said.


But the issue is reportedly hitting even Apple’s most recent iPhone models. “14.6 is draining my iPhone 12 Pro battery……………………,” one user wrote...)
