Unrelated to your overall to point, but maybe this helps a fellow reader.
Most stations have cell signal now, you just need to toggle airplane mode once you are fully out of the tunnel.
- lxgr 3y agoI think Apple or Qualcomm must have done something about that exact use case in one of the last updates: It’s been a while since I’ve had to do that. My iPhone now finds the network in the station pretty consistently. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they did something like using the accelerometer as an input to the baseband for triggering a quick network scan after a rapid deceleration when on a train without signal. Or maybe newer networks are just more predictable for phones to reconnect to quickly without draining the battery?
