Add me to the list of people screwed over by this update.
I went from 2 bars in my house to 0. Installed an LTE network extender and still get no cellular signal at all -- literally 0 bars and it's 2 feet from me. No big deal, I'll use Wifi calling, which on average lasts 5 seconds to 1 minute before "call failure". My wife and daughter (iPhone 8 and iPhone SE respectively) are on 13.x and have no issues. After seeing my phone turn into a literal paperweight, I'm ensuring they don't install the update.
Device: iPhone X
I've tried: Airplane Mode
Hard reset
Network Settings Reset
Factory Reset
iTunes Reimaging with 14.0.1
LTE Network Extender added to my network 2 feet from me
Wifi calling, no airplane mode (call never goes through, just hangs forever)
Wifi calling, airplane mode (call lasts 5 seconds to a minute before call failure and dropped)
VolTE on/off
3G on/off (LTE Network Extender doesn't help and 3G signal in my basement is non-existent so dead on arrival)
At this point I have my phone forwarded to a google voice number so that I can actually receive phone calls, albeit while strapped to my computer. This is beyond infuriating, especially as someone who has been a loyal customer of Apple for most of a decade. If this isn't fixed soon I'm going to go to Android. The entire point of having a cell phone is being available to people. At this point if I were dying on the road screaming out my window for help would be more useful than having my phone on me.
