iPhone 16 Pro poor reception in 5G and LTE of course impacting GPS since ios 18

Out of wifi, my iphone 16 Pro for a few days (week of March 24th)has almost no reception in 5G or LTE… and this coincides with an ios 18 update. What is going on and why multiple issues reported in this community since 2024 about reception issues with iPhone 16 pro or not are not answered?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16

if the problem is only with the Network then try to reset the network settings and check if the issue is solved or not .


If doesn't work check the cellular data is providing good connection in your area and further contact your Carrier for resolution.


Try checking with other carrier networks too ,if the issue remains same with all the carriers then take a data back up and restore the device.


This might solve your issue.

Called T Mobile and we finally figured out after a network reset indeed. The issue was linked at a change of setting after a recent call to remove the international coverage that was lingering despite having followed the indicated steps to shut off the international coverage back from Europe in Jan after long Christmas vacations. After that recent call to ask them to remove again the international coverage and refund the months that should not have been charged, somebody at T Mobile changed a setting on my account set to active only for international, not domestic apparently. The agent figured it out thankfully and reinstated service.
