Watch Now: Is Apple’s “AntennaGate” back with the iPhone 17?

Alex and Speedify developer Mike analyze Apple iPhone 17 cellular performance and look back at Apple’s biggest iPhone controversy ever: AntennaGate. They explore antenna design, RF signal attenuation, dual-SIM dual-active radios, and iOS signal algorithms, highlighting why cellular drops, Wi-Fi handoffs, and energy-efficiency tradeoffs persist on modern iPhones.

The discussion covers iOS debugging tools, Speedify network testing for Wi-Fi vs LTE/5G, and how antenna hardware, A19 chip optimization, and thin device form factors impact signal strength and connection reliability. They examine cellular MacBooks, iPad Sidecar limitations, and multi-path networking, offering insights into antenna aggregation, uplink/downlink optimization, and real-world 5G connectivity.
