iPhone 14 pro has poor signal.

Are you comparing your iPhone's 5G signal with an older phone's 4G signal?

A 5G signal does not have the range that 4G does.

I noticed the same, even on Wi-Fi 6. Calls dropping, failed message sends, and long loading circles.

This same issue comes up every time a new iPhone is released, and it occurs for the same reason:

Cellular carriers need to properly optimize their towers and antennas for the latest cellular frequencies.

When it comes to 5G, the iPhone 12 supports the following frequency bands:

• 5G NR (Bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n20, n25, n28, n38, n40, n41, n66, n71, n77, n78, n79)
• 5G NR mmWave (Bands n260, n261)

The iPhone 14 Pro supports the following frequency bands (differences from iPhone 12 in bold):

• 5G NR (Bands n1, n2, n3, n5, n7, n8, n12, n14, n20, n25, n26, n28, n29, n30, n38, n40, n41, n48, n53, n66, n70, n71, n77, n78 n79)
• 5G NR mmWave (Bands n258, n260, n261)

When a cell phone connects to a cell tower, it tells the tower "Hi, I'm this kind of phone, and I support these frequency bands."

The tower says "Great, let's see what's least congested… OK, use frequency band (as an example) n48."

If the cellular tower isn't properly adjusted/optimized for the assigned frequency band (again as an example) n48, your iPhone 14 Pro may see little to no signal where your iPhone 12 on frequency band n28 sees full bars.

If the tower assigned your iPhone 14 Pro to use band n28 as well, everything would work as it did before, but because the newer frequencies are most likely to be less crowded, that probably won't happen.

Long story short, contact your cellular provider, only they can fix this.

I have the same issues my iPhone 14 pro does not have or supports range my iPhone 11 had much better range than the iPhone 14 pro I hope apple can come up with a fix

Your iPhone 11 does not have 5G capablilities, it uses 4G/LTE. 4G/LTE has a much longer range than 5G. This has nothing to do with Apple or your phone, it's the laws of physics.

So why does my android with 5g have more range than my new iPhone 14 pro I think you’re wrong I have tested both and my android Samsung phone has a much longer range

There is nothing for Apple to fix, it’s your cellular carrier.

It’s explained in my post at the top of this thread.

Your Android has more range on the specific frequency it was assigned; if it were assigned to the same frequency band as your iPhone you’d see the same results.

Only proper configuration/tuning of the cell tower antennas and base station controller can change any of that.

No, I'm suggesting if you have an issue your carrier needs to correct it at the cell tower at which you are having difficulty.

All carriers have this same problem, and sometimes it's something as simple as the antennas were configured in winter and in spring tree leaves interfere with the frequencies involved; other times the inverse is true and snow interferes with the signal.

Sadly, Apple can't make any of the cell carriers spend money to correctly optimize their antennas; they've tried for years, but for the most part the cell carriers do things on their own schedule and one phone vendor isn't going to make them pay for the cost to send out a crew.

It can't be helped what people who don't take the time to understand an issue think about a device due to their own misconceptions, and if you do an Internet search you will find people with the same complaints about the latest Google and Samsung devices in various areas.

But as always, if you think there is something wrong with your phone, make an appointment to have it examined.

My iPhone 14 max pro has virtually no reception in my house. We have 3 other 5g iPhones in the house (12, 13 pro, and 13 pro max) all of which have a strong signal and no dropped call issues.

I

The 14 also seems to have issues with Wi-Fi calls too, so I’ve had to revert to zoom calls on my laptop. My cellular provider is Verizon

I have been complaining about this issue and they keep telling me it’s the 5g well I have t mobile and 5g on my android Samsung phone works fine my older iPhone worked fine also i truly believe it’s the iPhone 14 is the issue I hope apple looks into this and stop giving excuses that it’s the 5g

I’ve explained it a few times now, you can’t compare two 5G phones like that unless they are identical models:

In that case, I would like my old iPhone back if the 14 is just a dud.
