| Dec 27, 2019 at 16:43 | comment | added | bmike♦ | I’ve added some details on the NS connection timeouts being lowered from minutes to 30 seconds on iOS 13 and equivalent. Apple clearly can do this but isn’t. The carriers are complicit in selling you the idea there’s a lot of LTE data to be consumed, that I feel isn’t there yet. HTH @WilfredSmith | |

| Dec 27, 2019 at 2:19 | comment | added | Wilfred Smith | No. but the standard NSNet stuff works over cellular. Though your app gets killed pretty quickly. I wish Verizon would pool the data instead of giving me 15GB that I can’t touch. I’m okay with sucking battery. I get almost an hour of LTE voice when I leave my phone at home. My dream is to do everything from my watch and AirPods. | |
| Dec 27, 2019 at 2:10 | comment | added | bmike♦ | I agree you’re paying for data you might not be able to use. The power drain to consume that rate would be fun to get some empirical data @WilfredSmith Has the baseband code leaked out anywhere you’ve seen? I’d be surprised it’s voice only since texting and apps get data connections, but I haven’t seen packet captures so I can’t say for sure. | |
| Dec 27, 2019 at 1:54 | comment | added | Wilfred Smith | Technically, it’s a fully capable LTE/UMTS cellular radio. With the 64-bit dual core processor, it should easily be able to handle 100mbit/sec, though the battery won’t last long. My point is that I’m paying for data I can’t use. If it’s LTEvoice only, they should say that. | |
