YES! New T-Mobile macro in Sterling Heights, MI that services the busy Hall Rd & Schoenherr area—a well known congestion spot for MANY years!!! Confirmed by asking a local store to pull up coverage tool. I also mapped on CellMapper! Way to go T-Mobile. @SriniGopalan

.@Xfinity @Verizon FaceTime video call failed toda yb/c my iPhone 18 Pro couldn’t smoothly switch from weak n5+n77 at a macro site 1.5 miles away to a strong LTE signal from the small cell next to me. I had to hang up and start a new FaceTime call. This shouldn’t happen.

This does NOT look like premium data to me. @Xfinity

Xfinity Mobile on SA 5G (left) vs Verizon Business plan (not sure what it's called, but on NSA) (right)

I barely have cell service at my job and I still wouldn’t use the WiFi. I asked IT guy if he would connect his phone to the work WiFi, he said HELL NO! That told me everything I needed to know.

T-Mobile Experience Store with T-Mix display. They’re trying to gamify it.

Verizon small cell in Chesterfield, MI Target is faster on LTE versus having 5G SA enabled. The small cell is broadcasting n2 and L66+48. I wish Verizon would really upgrade these small cells to 5G. LTE shouldn’t be a better experience than 5G.

I couldn’t find the node but DAMN c2. Right outside a string of busy dine in restaurants #Verizon

iOS 27.3 beta adds Adaptive Dark Mode to Safari, which automatically darkens websites that don’t offer a dark theme of their own.

I can’t recall EVER seeing SOS/no service on Verizon. I’m sure there are dead zones out there, but NEVER in the areas I frequent. T-Mobile and AT&T go into SOS for me so easily, even though they have a denser macro grid in the Detroit market than Verizon. Interesting.

Reminder: Enable 4K video streaming if your plan supports it; otherwise, you’ll get 1.9 Mbps “480p” speeds 🤮 Xfinity randomly disabled 4K for me, so I had to re-enable it. Its network management is harsh, and videos on X, TikTok, Instagram, and other apps buffer.

This Verizon LTE small cell at Somerset Mall near the parking garage is working hard. Hoping Verizon upgrades it to 5G soon. We’re nearly 8 years into 5G and still have so many LTE small cells in Metro Detroit.

Ouch! This specific spot in St Clair Shores, MI that Verizon neglects to fill with a small cell works my nerves. Idk what the full bars are about. Nothing works. T-Mobile and AT&T have a macro in the area.

Xfinity WiFi Hotspots come in handy when Verizon 5G isn’t the best💯 No password or prompting, it just connects automatically. Having Thai today.

Xfinity Mobile WiFi hotspot vs Verizon 5G SA. Xfinity Mobile coming in clutch at the laundromat.

Back in the LTE days, T-Mobile would struggle to get 2 Mbps down during rush hour on my home site. Would argue 17 Mbps down on 5G during rush hour is not good either. 5G made it a bit more usable I guess. Meanwhile Verizon is consistent. They also have small cells.

@mobileXus has a data only plan for 1.99 per month and $1.90 a GB and what you dont use we credit back to you.

T-Mobile has adjusted, increased or restructured rate plans & forced legacy migrations multiple times over the past 3 years. This includes major revamps occurring at least four major times alongside continuous fee & legacy code retirements.

Thanks for sharing this in your latest video, @SneedTech. You’re the GOAT 👑

These iOS updates are the reason I felt forced to upgrade my phone from 256GB to 512GB. There is only so much deleting, uninstalling you can do. The updates just keep getting bigger.

I think T-Mobile’s $5 tablet plan is smart af because of the perceived value. You HAVE to be on the most premium phone plan to get the $5 tablet plan. But no other carrier is doing the same. I don’t use my iPad enough to ever use over 25GB either BUT….

I do care about having a high quality video streaming experience. I just wish there was an option to enable 4K video streaming on that $5 tablet plan. I need my videos CRISP! T-Mobile, wake up.
