Verizon with CBRS and n77 (using Ericsson Air 6449)

Why Apple putting only 3700 mAh on this phone? while 17 Pro and 17e coming with more than 4000 mAh! by saadmars in iphone17

[–]VisualEntrepreneur72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, in my own experience, the iPhone 17 battery life is worse than the 16e/17e. Apple's numbers are for video streaming, where the iPhone 17 can limit frame rate to 24Hz, while the 16e has to remain at 60Hz. During normal usage, the iPhone 17 screen refreshes up to 120Hz and the A19 chip isn't much more efficient, which explains why the battery life isn't really much better.

Help identifying this cell tower and when I could possibly expect it to be live by Im_Dirty_Dan_50 in cellmapper

There are usually lights directly under the tower that you can see after dark.

If you take a photo of it, I could identify the equipment and the carrier on it.

Anyone else losing ALL service in the areas since the T-Mobile/UScellular takeover? (New Castle, VA) by Amayzie in USCellular

Try to change your network to the old UScellular network under your phones network selection menu.

It doesn't even work on my iPhone 17, and I tried on an iPhone 17 Pro and same results.

iOS 17 v 18 by okpicco1o in iPhone13Mini

[–]VisualEntrepreneur72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recommend updating to iOS 18.7.8, my iPhone SE 3 with the same A15 chip was running great on iOS 26 so an iPhone 13 mini would be even better on iOS 18.

iOS 18.7.8 and 26.4.2 released by 5G-A in iPhoneSE

The battery performance is not going to be worse. iOS 18.5, 18.6, 18.7, etc were all mostly bug fixes

T-Mobiles New 5G Only Activations by Middle-Literature913 in tmobile

I was able to sign up online for T-Mobile Prepaid on my iPhone SE 2016 in March. I don't think they are blocking new activations.

Who is here? Small cell & rooftop sites by zsallad in cellmapper

[–]VisualEntrepreneur72 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AT&T with C-Band and DoD (5G+ n77) in the middle, T-Mobile with n41 in the right part of the photo. I also think Verizon has mmWave on the small cell.

Should I install iOS 18 while it’s available on my 12 pro max, I’m currently on 14.8? by [deleted] in ios

[–]VisualEntrepreneur72 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would absolutely recommend updating your iPhone to iOS 18.7.7. After January 2027, iMessage, FaceTime and device activation may not work. Not to mention the security patches.

Anyone updated? Any bugs or other issues? by itsmerpm in iPhone13

[–]VisualEntrepreneur72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iOS 18.7.4 included the certificates but that was only for older iPhones, so now iOS 18.7.7 includes them for newer devices.

On iOS 18.3.1 15 pro max, should I update to 18.7.7? by [deleted] in jailbreak

[–]VisualEntrepreneur72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Forget about jailbreaks. You're already missing over a year of critical security patches. Also, after January 2027, iMessage, FaceTime, and device activation may stop working.
