Join the discussion: Is the iPhone 7 Plus antenna worse?
I've noticed a bit of difference at work between my 6s+ and 7+, but it might just be due to changes in my building (more floors above being built out and creating more interference). there is a spot where if I walk out of my office to take a call probably 50% of the time either the caller can't hear me for a few seconds or the call will drop. Also have noticed the GPS tracking while walking with the Fitbit app is not as accurate. The line is a lot more zigzag'd than on the 6s+. I'm suspecting the redesigned antenna lines aren't allowing as good of a signal but who knows.
