Tonight on my live stream it dawned on me that I have a family cell phone plan BEFORE I have an actual family!

Meanwhile most of my friends are still on their parents' plans.

How do people blog on @webflow?

The experience is so poor for writing content in their rich text fields.

Equally as important as areas with strong coverage are areas with weak coverage!

Here’s
iPhone 17 Pro (X80) vs.
iPhone 16 Pro (X71) vs.
iPhone Air (C1X) vs.
iPhone SE (C1)

on T-Mobile’s 5G network in an area with ~ -105dBm to -115dBm RSRP:

Should I use median results or maximum results for my video on cellular modem performance?

stetsondoggett.bsky.social @stetsondoggett.bsky.social · 5d

Median speeds vs. Max speeds on T-Mobile's 5G network!

The story here is upload performance + power efficiency.

Apple C1X delivers almost 2x the upload performance as Apple C1.

And Apple C1X uses 30% less energy overall than the iPhone 16 Pro.

iPhone 17 Pro (X80 modem) vs.
iPhone 16 Pro (X71 modem) vs.
iPhone Air (Apple C1 modem) vs.
iPhone 16e (Apple C1 modem)

All on T-Mobile’s 5G UC network!

You can see the cell tower off in the distance 🙂

But the bigger story here is how well the C1X modem performs while using allegedly 30% less energy than the X71 modem!

C1X also DOUBLED the upload performance of the C1, bringing it on par with Qualcomm’s modems.

I’m impressed!

stetsondoggett.bsky.social @stetsondoggett.bsky.social · 5d

Looks like the Qualcomm X80 finished first overall.

Interestingly, the C1 achieved the highest peak download of 1,531 Mbps.

Today I’m testing cellular performance of the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone Air, and iPhone 16e on T-Mobile’s 5G network!

iPhone 17 Pro has the X80 modem
iPhone 16 Pro has the X71 modem
iPhone Air has the C1X modem
