    iPhone 11 iPhone XS Max?

    Any ideas what will happen to the old stock of iPhone XS Max in Apple Stores? They have been scrapped from the iPhone line-up and no longer available online. I was hoping to pick one up, possibly at a reduced price, to replace my X. I wasn’t too impressed with the new 11 and don’t want to shell...

    Carrier T-Mobile performance with iPhone Xs or Xr

    I currently have an iPhone X and recently switched from Verizon to T-Mobile. Since switching, I have noticed terrible indoor coverage and generally worse coverage in fringe areas.
