First spotted by 9to5Mac, over 500 iPhone 12 owners have posted to Apple’s Official Support Communities forum that their phones (seemingly all iPhone 12 models) are dropping both 5G and 4G reception, leaving them minus connectivity even in areas with strong signal. Moreover, when I dug further into this voice, I found numerous similar threads with thousands of comments posted to Reddit threads for Verizon, AT&T and more as well as protests about signal drops on international carriers.

Switching between towers seems to be a well-liked cause, regardless of network, for others their signed disappears even when standing still. Unfortunately, some very unlucky iPhone 12 owners are also populace impacted by both problems:

Only airplane mode/reboot can restore service, and I've erased network settings multiple times now. I'm comical a new AT&T SIM provided by Apple.” - source

While there is some gallows comic about the issue, the problems are clearly impacting a principal number of iPhone 12 owners. They also add to a wider pattern of cellular publishes with the iPhone 12 range. At commence, iPhone 12 owners were impacted by widespread SMS publishes while the latest iOS 14 release (iOS 14.2.1) patches problems with iPhone 12 models not receiving MMS messages.
