iPhone 17 Pro constantly dropping mobile signal

My iPhone 17 pro is constantly dropping mobile signal. I had an iPhone 14 with no issues. Upgraded to a 17 Pro around 8 weeks ago. I noticed my mobile signal constantly dropping. I was on EE and decided to transfer to a different provider. Chose Vodafone and had the exact same problem, I have now changed to 02 and it still

happens! I can go from 4 bars to nothing, goes out of service then back

up to 4 bars again. It’s driving me crazy. Been talking to Apple support who have told me to delete any VPNs, do network resets etc and nothing is working. Surely this points to a handset issue? My family have 02 and Vodafone in my house with absolutely no issues. I at a loss what to do next.

I would recommend scheduling an appointment with Apple where they can get their hands on the device to perform more thorough checks that are not possible with a support call.

Thanks for the reply. The problem is I don’t have a local Apple Store. Do you know if this is a known issue with the 17 pro?

If there was a known issue with the 17 Pro, this support site would be flooded with the same complaints and it is not. Without a local store nearby, you only have the option to send it in.
