"we want to delight our customers" Ceo of Vz D. Schulman How could this possibly delight customers? Moving the autopay date to 6 days earlier Vz postpay is a scam, I detest it. My biggest regret remains taking them up on a promo last year on my legacy account. That's on me

"it just works" I very much agree with the importance of the "average consumer" cliche statement. The pixel works, the iPhone doesn't. Uplink is unusable & the downlink is intermittent. I'm trading in for the 18 pro soon.

Good commentary here. Apple's custom antenna design might be more impactful to the end user in day to day usage. Trying to find a signal on the edges of cell sites. Apple using a very dated qc solution is just bad. In the US so I'm skipping the pro max this year.
The Apple C2 modem is quite good and competitive. Apple has put that milestone behind it. Going in-house reduces modem cost and gives Apple more freedom to optimize performance at the system level. And with the current Qualcomm license agreement approaching its end, Apple may soon be driving hard at reducing its Qualcomm licensing costs as well. For years, skeptics kept saying modems are hard and doubting Apple could pull it off. They are hard. And they take time. Apple planned for both, stayed the course, and delivered.

This translates as monetization, Buy apple care. Silly heathens, you need to just carry a glass sandwich around as is in a world full of concrete & asphalt.
Apple's hardware boss says seeing people put screen protectors on their iPhones makes his "skin crawl" The company says it works hard to make its displays durable enough without them

There is technical modem capacity and then there's antenna design. I would guess the antenna design of the apple c2 could be different than the x80 solution. It's possible the c2 could lack in raw rf power but could have better antenna performance.
Replying to @mweinbach
I saw 2 tests and both of them C2 had lost, it only won inside of buildings I would argue that sticking with Qualcomm would be a better choice until they can develop a VISIBLY better modem

Hopefully FirstNet aka tax payers are able to subsidize this investment.

Dealing with AI chat is painful & unproductive. Somehow customer care in telco has found a way to get worse lmao
My at&t fiber bill is $4.56 higher this month. No plan changes, no price increases ... Just is. This company has the worst billing systems. It's just failure defined.

Verizon finally made it happen on this colocation. The hold up was an environmental study. Took two years but it's on and cooking. New coverage, signal was bad here, unusable network for 2 miles. iPhone 16 pm & Google P11 speed tests.

Wtf is actually happening? Maybe we will see completion by 2027.
AT&T...they know there is a dollar at the end of the line but they just can't help it & need the 2 pennies they saw along the way. This is the 3rd climb in under a year. What are your thoughts on these types of inefficiencies?

The orange FCC told us lowest wireless prices ever tho
US DATA: RECORD CELL PHONE PRICE JUMP BOOSTS CORE CPI August inflation data carried a hawkish signal as wireless phone service prices surged 5.9% — the largest increase on record. The jump alone added around 0.08 percentage points to core CPI and will also feed into core PCE. Housing inflation was softer than expected, but its lower weighting in PCE means the underlying picture could still keep pressure on the Fed.
