The iPhone 12 line of smartphones went on sale a few weeks ago as the first Apple phones to support fifth-generation networks. At the same time, users began to report new issues due to which the new iPhone 12 smartphones unexpectedly lose 5G and LTE networks signal.
As reported by 9To5Mac, iPhone 12 users encounter this problem quite often when they are traveling or just driving. It is unclear at this point how common the problem is, but there have already been several hundred posts on online forums. There is an assumption that the iPhone 12 does not correctly process the signal when switching between cell towers. At the same time, in the same conditions, the problem does not appear on the iPhone 11 Pro and other smartphones of the company.
Verizon and AT&T users suffer the most from the problem, the source said, but T-Mobile users are also affected. Owners of the iPhone 12, faced with the problem have left messages on Reddit, the official Apple forum and other resources, but so far Apple has not responded to the situation.
Hopefully, Apple will comment on the issue soon as the number of people facing the issue continues to increase.
