iPhine 14 plus stuck on LTE!

I’m having an issue with my iPhone 14+ that is super annoying – it seems only to appreciate the LTE and completely ignore the 5G. Rude, right?

I have spoken with Apple for many hours. I have spoken with Verizon for even more hours. I have reset the phone I have requested a new phone I have driven to the base of a 5G tower and sat underneath it while taking screenshots. (2 bars of coverage and LTE) I have used all of the cellular settings - 5G auto/5G on/5g standalone. I have had Verizon reprovision my 🤔… ??? Can’t remember, but it was definitely reprovisioned! 😂😂 I have had them reset my cell tower affiliation or affinity or whatever the heck it is. I have had Apple reinstall the operating system three times I have heard the Wolf cried at the blue corn moon. What the heck is happening?

Omg.

I just looked up and my phone is on 5G. Shut the front door.

You people are AMAZING!! How did YOU DOOO THAT!!??

😂😂😂

But, seriously… It is on 5G. I’ve seen that about three times since I’ve had the phone which is about six months I just need to pop in here every time I need to do anything and then I’ll be just fine.

Any suggestions about how I can correct the situation?

We have also looked at coverage maps, and I’m not in the best area for 5G, but I’m an Uber driver, and I drive all over the city every day and only see 5G maybe once a day for about two seconds – when I am in this forum. 😉

Thanks for temporarily fixing my phone! I’m going to excuse myself and watch my information dwindle to LTE.

Hope to hear from you soon! Thank you!

😵‍💫 never mind. It’s back to LTE.

I knew it was too good to be true. And now I’m down to one bar I was at full bars and 5G and now I’m one bar and LTE.

I haven’t moved from my seat.
