Fair, Verizon plays a bigger role

Verizon honestly plays the only role in that. I'd wager to bet the phone works perfectly fine when there is ample signal around.

But it’s also the case for me with T-Mobile. Which is odd, because my service wasn’t this shit when I was still with sprint.

Modem manufacturers most definitely do have a role to play in that. Not all modems are created equal, and if Apple sold their modem to other companies they would have to provide a datasheet listing sensitivities at different bands.

That's to say, it's unlikely that Apple is the sole reason that this guy only gets 4 bars, but if you compared an iPhone and a Galaxy or Pixel at the same place at the same time you would get 3 different signal strengths.
