iPhone 16e concerns about C1 modem
Dear All,
I was quite enthusiastic about the 16e as on paper it seems like a great deal but once I held it in my hands I quickly felt disappointed. unlike with my iphone 12 the signal bars (mobile network reception) would typically be only 2 out of 4 (iphone 12 mostly 4/4) and the ping test revealed a ping of 30, versus 12 on my iphone (with 5g)
also, indoors like in supermarkets mobile internet has issues. Apparently the 16e was an "experiment" and the C1 is not proven at all.
So now I am wondering if I should send it back and simply keep using my 12 until it falls apart, and buy the 17e at some point.
