IPhone 6 Antenna Vs. iPhone 5S Antenna

HEllo Apple and other members recently i saw some videos...  of iphone6 has faster network signals...  iPhone LTE Speed Test: iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 5s
iam having iphone 5s there is no LTE in my area.. in my home there is 2 bars of 3g network that is very slow,.  my question is using iphone6 can solve my problem ?? iphone 6 has better antenna ???

If there is no LTE coverage in your area, then the iPhone 6 has no LTE signals it can connect to, to use. It will use the same 3G signals available to your iPhone 5s. In which case the reception is likely to be the same as with the iPhone 5s.
In  other words, its unlikely the iPhone 6 will provide any noticeably better reception. 
It comes down to an environmental problem, rather than something an antenna could resolve even if it is newer and maybe better.

  • HT204409 I have a new iphone 5 and it won't connect to a wireless router that my old iphone 3GS would pick up. Is there a compatibility issue with some routers or is the antenna weaker in the new iphone 5?

    I have a new iphone 5 and I can't pick up a wireless router that I could use with my old iphone 3GS. Is there an issue with the new iphone and is the antenna weaker than the 3GS?

    Re: Anyone still having IOS 6 wifi issues?
    created by mpa9366 in Using iPad - View the full discussion
    Having done a lot of reading today and having found a very good online tablet magazine (will post link tomorrow) there seems to be a few tech bods onto the problem.
    The magazine I was reading identified wifi problems within hours of the ios 6 release and have been analysing since then with almost daily updates - the story seems to be:
    The apple authenthication transmission is normal, it should slip through event prior to a full handshake with the host network being completed - however if not authenthicated then apple will not permit the device to connect (kills the connection) this is designed to protect apple from counterfeiting. So thats problem 1 if you dont receive a token from apple.
    Problem 2 is that ios 6 only supports ipv6 (the new ip protocol) whereas outside silicon valley a large proportion of routers modems etc are still ipv4 protocol.
    So youre locked into ipv6 in a world where ipv4 devices are everywhere and apple have not allowed for the ability to handle both protocols. This is like GM telling you your car requires an upgrade, everything will improve etc and as part of the upgrade fits a fuel cell motor and stays silent when their upgraded vehicles are simply parked up because they cannot get fuel.
    A very basic expectation would have been dual protocol handling - we know the HW supports ipv4 as all wad fine on ios5.
    So its going to be hit and miss with networks - more hit than miss in techy areas like silicon valley, but more miss in places like where I am - a small town in rural Switzerland.
    Only apple can fix this with a patch to enable ipv4 protocol handling.
    There you go. you just need to buy a new router, I'm sure Apple has one for sale, cause it's not there fault for sure.
    Wonder why people start to migrate to other devices ?

  • My iPhone 4S was recently replaced as it had a faulty wifi antenna. The new phone no longer syncs iMessage with my ipad like the old one used to.

    My iMessages were always automatically synced with my  6 monthold iPhone 4S. However the phone recently had to be replaced by apple because of a faulty wifi antenna. The new phone was restored from backup. It works fine but iMessage no longer syncs with my ipad. I've looked into the settings and can't see anything wrong? I can iMessage from my phone and iMessage from my ipad but they don't synch. Very frustrating. Would appreciate some help. My nearest spple store is 30 miles away. Thank you so much.

  • Recommendations for an iPhone 3G signal amplifier or antenna??

    My new iPhone 3G happens to be getting 1/2 of a bar worth of cellular signal (on the 3G network) in the same place my old iPhone got a full signal when it was using the Edge network?? I've confirmed that this is due to an apparent lack of 3G coverage in the particular location I am trying to use the cell phone by simply switching off the 3G option on my new iPhone, at which point I get full bars and a much clearer reception...
    I would hate to have to manually switch back and forth between Edge and 3G on a regular basis in order to use my phone, so until some App developer releases a program that would allow me to have some sort of an automatic switch from Edge to 3G based on my location, I was hoping that someone might be able to recommend a compatible 3G signal amplifier/antenna that would boost my 3G network coverage?
    Does anyone know of such a device that would work with the iPhone 3G (specifically to increase/enhance its 3G network connection range/visibility)?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    Bars on 3G do not equal bars on EDGE

  • How to connect 3g iphone Passive Antenna Adapter to phone?

    Having a hard time to finding solution to this question. I'm finding that there are antenna adapters for the iphone. However, I'm having a hard time finding articles, pictures, or video on how to use them.
    So can any one help me out?
    My goal is to increase my iphone 3g cell phone signal. I have some plans on how to do it. I'm not willing to purchase and booster or cell repeater; they usually cost $200 dollars, or more. And I'm not willing to buy a cheaper repeater on ebay or some biding site....

    Hello there, Jenny_24.

  • TS1398 My iphone 3G only gets wifi if its within 1 ft of the router. I have had the antenna replaced but its no better.

    My iphone 3G only gets wifi if its within 1 ft of the router. I have had the antenna replaced but its no better. I have restored to factory through iTunes but still not working. 3G signal is good

    Try these steps. Check to see if your router has a firmware update. Go to the manufacturers website and check. If so, install. If not, reset the router. Disconnect from power for 30 seconds, plug it back in. Wait for it to boot up and then check your wifi.
    Do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, check wifi.
    If none of this helps, then make an appointment at the Apple store to have the hardware checked. If it is found to have a hardware defect, they will more than likely replace the device. Remember the final call is Apple's.

  • Can I buy an antenna online for my iPhone 4 and will it work?

    My iPhone keep saying no service .
    I don't pick up NO wifi and I should .
    I If I buy a Antenna online for my iPhone 4 will work ? will i get service and Wi-Fi ?
    If so which one do I have to get since my iPhone 4 is an AT&amp;T iPhone

    The antenna for the iPhone 4 is the metal band around the edge...if there is a signal the antenna picks it up, if there is not a signal there is nothing you can do.
    Have you tried your iPhone in more than one WiFi area and does it not receive WiFi in all areas?
    What is your symptom of no WiFi, is the WiFi button greyed out?  If so, work through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and see if that helps.  If still no WiFi, some users have found it necessary to make a backup of their contents, restore the iPhone to factory condition, and then restore from the backup.

  • Are there any IPhone antenna signal booster available

    Hi,
    We have two iphones in our family. The problem is that usually we have VERY poor signal strength in our house. I've gone to ATT's site to check out coverage (they have a map of signal strength by geographical location on their site) and sure enough, we live in a zone with poor signal strength. If we lived a block away, in any direction, from where we live now, we'd have great signal strength available. Sometimes we have good signal strength, but those times are few and far between, and the number of bars showing signal strength often changes right before our eyes.
    We love the phones, but they are of little use to us while at home. So ... we wondered if there is a solution out there for us. Are there signal boosters, or something like that, which might help us out?
    If there are, where would we look for one? Would we need a special kind?
    Pat
    Message was edited by: Patrick Murphy

    Sorry, no feedback on this yet. I was hoping someone else would have already tried a booster or repeater or whatever they are, and post a comment about them here. We went to the ATT store in Pismo Beach and stood there for fifteen minutes waiting for someone to help us and then left. Two doors down there is a Radio Shack, and although these antennas are listed in their online catalog, the two guys who were working there didn't have a clue. Actually, Radio Shack was kind of a funny experience because one of the guys just said "we don't have any" and then just walked away from us to return to the movie he was watching on the large screen TV across the store. I swear!
    Then, we went to another ATT store located on the south side of Santa Maria and we finally got a guy who not only knew what we were talking about, but was actually helpful. Though they didn't have any antennas for us at the store, he discussed the effectiveness of antennas with us, and was truthful enough to tell us that the information he was relating to us was just information he had heard from his friends, but that he had no personal experience with using these antennas.
    Anyway, one of the posts at the top of this thread lists a site to check out, and it seems to have most of the brands we heard about in our search. It appears that they run in the neighborhood of $300 for a good one, and you can spend up to about $1,000 for one of the best models available.
    I think we're going to spring for one of the $300 models and see if it works for us, but probably not until next week.
    Sure seems like a lot of $$$ for phone service. I don't blame Apple for this at all. It just seems like ATT ought to provide better service, either through more towers or some other way. That's just mho.

  • How to buy iPhone 4S Wireless antenna in india

    I got my ipone4S from USA about a year back. 2 days back just found my wifi button got greyed and it not working since then even after restroring my said phone.
    I had spoken with Apple customer care in India & also visited to authorised service centers. After evaluating my phone, they all are saying that its not a software problem & its a hardware problem. Above that my phone is also heating up like anything. I am afraid it may not burst anyday and brings our lives in to danger.
    Can i replace my iPhone 4S Wireless antenna in India and get my phone again in working condition & how to resolve this heating problem.
    Pls suggest.

    The iPhone is not user servicable. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. All iPhone parts you will be able to find are either counterfeit, stolen, or salvaged from other iPhones. Your phone can not be serviced at any authorized servicer outside of the US. Either take it back to the US or send it to someone you know there to take it in to Apple and have it replaced.

  • IPhone 4 - Love the new design, BUT worried about the antenna.

    I want an iPhone4, it looks great, and has everything I would want. What worries me is the fact that the antenna is on the outside of the phone, all around the edges. I remember that most radiation from cell phones comes from the antenna, where the signal is received. Does this mean the radiation levels on the new iPhone will be much higher since your hand is fully in contact with stainless steel band?
    Andy
    Message was edited by: Andy Katz

    I don't think Apple will commit such a grave error in phone design to have a device with the antenna touching someone's ear.
    I've looked at the pictures located here http://www.apple.com/iphone/gallery/
    Looking at the 2'nd pic, in the lower exterior metal band there is a space that separates the lower metal band from the top metal band. The same size and form corresponds with the location of previous Iphone's antenna allocated space.
    This can be double checked by going to FCC's test https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits& RequestTimeout=500&calledFromFrame=N&applicationid=573413&fccid=%27BCG-E2380A%27 and verifying the 11a SAR report file.
    At page 27, on the GSM 1900Mhz, having the device parallel and touching the face, the value is 0.73 SAR. Using it in a tilted 15 degrees position (ear touch, lower part about 2 inches away from face), the SAR is 0.30. If the antenna were to be continuous all the way around, the SAR values would not change since the top part is in contact with the ear at all times in both tests.
    I hope someone can confirm how the antenna is actually used in the new iPhone, I'm interested too since to me at least, having an antenna emitting so close to the ear means No Buy, antenna away from top = possible buy.

  • Network and antenna questions about iPhone 5

    My iPhone 4, on ATT's network, has very poor connectivity. Surely verizon must be better. I'm thinking of upgrading and switching, and I'm also wondering if the antenna on the iPhone 5 does any better.

    Why?  What does connectivity for one carrier have to do with another carrier supposedly providing better service?
    I've rarely ran into coverage issues with AT&T on any of my iPhones. 
    Ask friends and acquantances in areas where you intend to use the device which carrier they have and what their coverage is like.  Pick a carrier that provides the best coverage in the areas that you will use the device.

  • My take on the iPhone antenna issue

    I'll start off by saying I own a 3GS, don't own a 4, have seen one a friend has and know a few friends that have them.
    I've had other products (like a knife) that have an optional guard. You can leave it off and "be careful" or you can put it on and have the item be somewhat less attractive. This is my personal take on Apple's reasoning.
    You definitely would not want to increase the size of the iPhone by building in a case, because a third part might make a case that, say, was also a checkbook case. So it makes sense for the iPhone to be bare bones, and you have the option of adding a case if you want one.
    The mistake, as I see it, was in Apple not including a bumper with the iPhone, +and having the bumper already be on the iPhone when you took it out of the box.+
    Had they done this, IMO there would have been no complaints at all.
    Message was edited by: NewYorkYogi

    I agree the bumpers should have been free and included.
    The antenna issue though is very subjective. Steve is right. I have seen every phone i have owned drop bar level depending on how i hold it. This one is more pronounced because we can touch the antenna, usually a radio no no. The idea of the external antenna integrated with the case is quite cool. I use my iP4 in a very fringe area and haven't had it drop a call due to lost signal. In fact it is better than my 3G i replaced. It is better with the bumper. So what happened? Apple took a risk and designed something new. Then Steve hyped it up into the stratosphere. Raised expectation of perfection. It isn't perfect and all the nay sayers had something quite real to pick on. Now here we are.
    This phone is an amazing device. Very fast an powerful and the camera is really good. It has a few color issues but nothing that can't be fixed in any photo editor. The result is great photos capture with a cell phone. The video is great as is the recorded sound. Quite usable.
    So it has a few quirks, well worth all the positives in my opinion.

  • Is there an add on antenna for the iphone 4

    Is there an add on antenna for the iphone 4?  Having trouble with connection from my home.

    Pretty sure no iPhone ever had antenne connector

  • Antenna question for iphone 4

    I do not have any issues in my area (Philly) and from what I've read here not everyone is having an issue with the antenna. Why would this be? Why isn't it an "all or none" issue?
    I do have an issue when I am on the Edge network (in Poconos), but don't know if this is the antenna, or just crappy Edge service.

    Thanks.
    Ok but very expensive in other country? You have a 2 choice in US, first buy with AT &T with low price and the other buy from store without AT &T 650$ the second way is locked? What is different between 2 ways?
    the difference between the 2 is one is a subsidized price with a contract of 2 year commitment. Which is locked to AT&T.
    the other one is the no commitment, which means it is still locked to AT&T but that you don't renew your contract that way.
    Either way All iphones in US are carrier locked to AT&T and it can not be unlocked at all.

  • PLZ PLZ ANYBODY were is the verizon iphone 4 wifi antenna (as in which one of the black little marks)

    I need help knowing this for my iphone drops the wifi and knowing were the antenna is could help thx :)

    To be honest, When the verizon iphone first came out, I thought it would be the most talked about event in the tech world but the further we get, the more we see how far back the verizon iphone really is.  I cancelled my att contract early, paid 375 dollars to do so and what do I get in return? an os that is sub standard and data that moves slower than my pet turtle, nick.
    Why are we not recieving the latest and greatest features to iOS? why do we still not have the nitro safari browser? and why can I test drive iCloud beta with all my other iOS and mac osx devices except for my verizon iphone? Yes, it's not entirely verizon's fault but as america's largest network, you would think vzn would take some kind of action to help bring it's customers what they deserve and are paying for.  ANY WHY DOES MY FRIEND WHO HAS AN ANDROID(GOD, I HATE THAT STUPID GREEN CHARACTER) GET TWICE THE DATA SPEEDS AS ME WHEN HE'S ALSO ON VERIZON??? I feel my data usage is being throttled. And if that's true, verizon  should really allow us out of our contracts without fee because I was not advised my data, which is already slow to start, would be slowed down even further because the carrier is worried their network might overload. This is how vzn handles avoiding ATT's woes? not by having a better network that can handle heavy volume? WOW WAS I MISLED. I can't believe im saying this but att is looking better and better everyday. Not to mention their new unlimited any mobile plan that could save me alot of money every month.
    At least, apple or vzn should issue a statement of some sort so their customers at least know what to expect in the near future regarding features and updates.
