iPhone XS Max LTE data connectivity issue.
As posted on wiwavelength.com, although this is one of the largest iPhone ever sold, the XS Max’s antenna isn’t performing as expected, or better said is providing a poorer reception when compared to previous iPhone models. This might cause your iPhone to download LTE data below par in the same areas where older iPhones would have worked flawless. On average users claim that the XS Max has one bar less signal strength, when compared with iPhone models!
iPhone XS Max Poor LTE Data Connectivity Cause
If this is an Apple antenna design flaw or if the problem lies in the antenna tuning circuitry isn’t sure. However, a hardware flaw would mean that users will have to live with poorer LTE data connectivity. Apple, hasn’t reacted to this issue yet, and many await for a software fix, in an upcoming iOS 12 software update. If this will be the case we will keep you updated of course.
Tip: Until then don’t freak out if you get the “Unable to activate cellular network!” prompt while your iPhone XS Max has full signal bars!

Fact: The iPhone X Max LTE data connectivity issue isn’t carrier related, as we have received mails from T-Mobile, AT&T as well as Sprint customers. Do you encounter similar issues with your iPhone XS?
Yes, my very new iPhone has poor or no data connection. No matter how many bars are display, usually it has full signal or full bars with no data. That means the phone is just that a phone, it can do calls but nothing else. With full bars I can’t browse the internet, listen to music on the ‘New Music’ streaming app, can’t read emails, can’t even read eBooks on the new Books apple app and Kindle! Very amusing, maybe god is sending us a message!
I am also having the issue. Sprint has made every effort to fix it but no luck. I can only make calls. Data / SMS / iMessage / Web Browsing just works intermittently. Very disappointed. I came from an iPhone 8 and are seriously considering to return this one and get an iPhone X instead.
