What Does 1x Mean on iPhone Sprint?

Are you seeing 1x on your iphone sprint network? If so then you are probably in an area that has major tower/coverage issues. Your phone will automatically drop back to CDMA 1x when making a voice call and return to LTE when you are finished. That’s a normal part of the process on Sprint.

What does 1x mean?

I’ve had a problem on my iPhone sprint lately with my service. I’m in a town that doesn’t have the best coverage and it is incredibly slow to get any sort of data on my phone. Is this normal?

Basically it means that your phone is on CDMA which is Sprint’s older network. The reason you are seeing 1x is that your phone drops back to that while making voice calls and then returns to LTE once the call is completed. You won’t see this on any newer phones since they support VoLTE.

The good news is that Sprint is getting rid of that 1x network and soon will have LTE on it for everyone. It will be a while though because they are upgrading their network every couple of years to improve the speed of their data services and make it easier for people to switch.

What does 2x mean?

The iPhone 6S is the first smartphone from Sprint to offer Band 41 LTE 2x Carrier Aggregation, a technology that allows the device to deliver twice as many high-band LTE connections per cell tower than a traditional handset. For a limited time, iPhone users in select markets can take advantage of the technology by downloading the official iPhone LTE app and registering the device on the Sprint network. The best part is that it’s free!

What does 3x mean?

If you have an older iphone sprint and you are wondering what does 3x mean on an iphone then you have come to the right place. For starters, it’s a triple-stacked resolution of three display pixels. It’s also a 3D display that can be used for more than just photos and video. It’s a big deal because it’s the first time an iOS device has been able to support a 3D touch feature. Sadly, not every Apple phone on the carrier supports it.
What does 4x mean?

The big news is that both T-Mobile and Sprint are reporting huge iPhone 7 and 7 Plus sales. Pre-orders on T-Mobile are up 375% compared to last year and they’ve had 4x more orders than the iPhone 6 in their first four days of availability. Moreover, T-Mobile has announced that their porting ratios are “already higher than we’ve ever seen.” They’re also claiming that iPhone 7 and 7 Plus pre-orders are already breaking records. These numbers are all good news for current customers who are considering switching to T-Mobile from other carriers. Even if you’re not ready to upgrade, the iPhone SE, 6S/6S Plus and 7/ 7 Plus are very easy conversions as they will work on the New T-Mobile network once the Clearwire spectrum is added.
