Dropping signal

My iPhone 12 Pro Max keeps dropping the signal may be twice a day and I have to keep switching the Airplane Mode on/off and then it establishes the signal LTE or 5G.

But if Verizon service is poor in a certain spot, how come my iPhone is able to reconnect after I on/off the Airplane mode at that very spot. It happened the day I bought this iPhone and had to get Verizon tech help to connect. I was asked not to switch service from my previous iPhone at the Apple store. I learnt this Airplane mode on/off from the Verizon tech support.

This is a feature, not a bug. You want your phone to make phone calls? That's an extra fee.


In all seriousness though, there are thousands of people having this issue. I have had an escalated support case open with Apple since mid December and we're still no further along than when I first started. Verizon came out to my area and confirmed they aren't seeing service issues. There's clearly an iPhone issue. Hopefully it can be fixed with software....
