>By all accounts the XS is a great phone. If I had anything other than the X, I would have upgraded.

I upgraded to XS Max from 7+ and I regret it. LTE issues due to Intel modem are bad enough to launch a class action lawsuit.

My goodness, yes. The LTE issues are a nightmare.

did your 7+ not have the intel model? my 7 does, and it has many more issues than my 6 did with the Qualcomm modem.

My 7+ had a Qualcomm one and it was pretty seamless. XS Max is pretty much my first exposure to Intel ones and it's practically unusable in NYC subway.

ah, you must have had the Verizon 7+, which due to cdma needed the Qualcomm modem. sorry that you've now had to join the rest of us.
