iPhone 14 Pro Cellular Connection Issues

Follow up. I added Verizon to my eSIM so I now had two carriers on my phone with T-Mobile being the other one. The communication issue still persisted with both carriers. When I finally upgraded to the iPhone 15 pro max the problem stopped.

I didn’t have these issues with the 11 pro. I started have these issues right before iOS 17 with iOS 16 then kept happening after I got 17 and on my 14 pro max. Upgraded to the 15 and now everything is fine. Sucks because I had no need to upgrade but I needed a working phone

Interesting..I had this problem since 12 Pro which didnt have iOS 17 thought the 14 Pro would be better. Not want to upgrade either there is not a big enough upgrade between the 14 Pro and 15 Pro. If it gets bad I just set the cellular to LTE only and its prevent the data drop..which is fine when I am using Spotify. Thanks for the update!

Update:

Had this issue with my iPhone 14 Pro max, posted about my experience earlier in this thread.

I upgraded to the iPhone 15 Pro Max a few months ago. The problem completely disappeared. The connection failures occurred during my daily commute, walking around certain areas around the metro area and occasionally work. Basically the connection would fail at any location near a cell tower that is in visible range. Its been months, and not a single connection drop.

On a side note, disabling VPN never resolved the connection failures with my iPhone 14 Pro. I use WireGuard VPN to connect to my home network. VPN is an absolute requirement for my use case, need it for work and I run a PI-Hole Ad Blocker at home that blocks 99% of advertisements. Otherwise internet use is pointless on a mobile device, drowning in ads and auto play videos.

I wish there was way to capture debug logs on an iPhone, much like Android, ADB and Logcat. A feature like this would help so much. Or a diagnostic app that can detect consistent network connection failures, notify the user about the connection failures and ask if the user wants to send diagnostics data to Apple. Might be a good A.I use case if anything.

I’ve had service issues with my 14 pro max since I’ve had it . I took it to AT&T they gave me a new digital sim , it helped for a week and it’s back to poor service again. My wife says the warranty has ran out already . I don’t know what else to do .

I’m glad to see this post because I thought I was losing my mind. My phone has to be turned off and on 1-2 times a week and it’s increasing quickly. It’ll just STOP responding at the most inopportune times - like when I need a turn in WAZE and am driving. Ugh. A nightmare. I have the Pro Max and I dare say my 13 Pro was better.

No issues whatsoever on our 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max.

That likely doesn't help you though. Seek help from your cellular provider if you are having cellular connectivity issues.

Not likely. Long gone are the days of CDMA. Carriers in the US are all GSM today.

No issues on my 14 Pro Max, the other one in the house, and a 14 Pro all using Verizon.

Pro and Pro Max differ in screen size and battery size. Otherwise they are the same phone.

I would reach out to Verizon. I have AT&T and have no such issues on either our iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max.

No. My T-Mobile connection gives me over 200 mbps down (sometimes over 500 mbps), 50 mbps up.

Have you checked with t-mobile to see if they have a local network outage?
