Rural phone reception
What model is currently the best iphone for rural coverage in low phone reception areas please
Question marked as
Rocks and trees are entirely fond of munching signals around here, with coverage gaps.
I’m not sure there is “one best” here.
Each new iPhone generation does get better, but marginal coverage is marginal.
They’re all typically using the same cellular baseband, and similar setups.
I’ve had better success switching carriers.
The carrier I’m using finally added some coverage in some populated areas, too.
There are coverage map comparisons, and I’d assume all carriers’ maps are… optimistic.

If you have a carrier with support for Wi-Fi assist, that tends to be helpful when you’re near a known Wi-Fi.
Bigger battery might be helpful, if you’re using the iPhone in a marginal area and potentially at higher power.
