Iphone13 pro switching between 5G and EDGE, missing 4G most of the times
Hi, just received brandnew Iphone 13pro, was using iphone 11pro before.
the new phone switches between 5G and EDGE, and seems to ignore the fact that there is 4G as well (in most cases, not all the times). Both 5G and EDGE work at much lower speeds than the 4G did on my iphone 11.
Even if I force the iphone 13 to use 4G (eg switch off 5G), it still reduces to EDGE. This makes the pone unworkable, cant use for instance navigation while in the car, as it keeps on switching
I contacted my network operator (Vodafone), they say they have pretty much full national coverage, and were kind enough to send me a new SIM, just to make sure that there was not something wrong with the old sim.
using both old and new sim gives fantastic 4G coverage in the same area on the old iphone11, so there definately is a difference between the phones, and not the SIMs or the coverage.
Anyone else have this problem?
Could it be that the 4G antenna somehow is broken from factory ?
is the same antenna used for 4G, 5G & EDGE?
could it be that the iphone13 requires a much stronger signal than iphone 11?
if this is a particular problem with my device, I might ask for a new phone, if others have these network connectivity problems as well, in my opinion its a design fault in the antenna and Ill move back to my iphone11, as that one works pretty OK
