Apple is reportedly contacting early iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max adopters over issues with LTE connectivity on the brand new handset.<\/b>
\nOne iPhone XS Max owner took to Twitter to say Apple had reached out with a view to diagnosing issues he\u2019d experienced with his LTE reception. Apple told the user it was part of a wider outreach to those suffering from signal issues.
Apple asked the user questions and requested the permission to install a baseband logger in order to track his connection to nearby cellular towers.

Despite a number of complaints about LTE service and signal, since the iPhone XS and its larger sibling launched on September 17,Apple is yet to formally acknowledge the issues via the usual channels.
Some iPhone users have complained their reception is poorer than on previous-generation models like the iPhone X and iPhone 8. The problems are far from universal though, with some users seeing real improvements in mobile data performance thanks to the support for Gigabit LTE on the brand new models.

The cause of the issue is still unknown. It\u2019s possible this could be easily resolved with update to device firmware or carrier settings. Apple Insider is told by an anonymous Apple source that a \u201climited data collection effort\u201d in order to get the issue sorted.
If Apple is able to identify a prognosis, we could see an update dealing with the issue in iOS 12.1, which is also set to include a fix for a Lightning charging problem.<\/p>\n
