This might be more of a bug or sales tactic. But why are the normal iPhones not listed, their only seems to be the Pro or Max versions showing and not the normal ‘iPhone 11’ and so forth.

I’d be inclined to get a cheap SIM for the network of interest and check real-world coverage in any important locations - none of the networks are perfect.

All the mobile coverage checkers are based on computer models of the predicted coverage, for any given location. Don’t rely on a computer model, because often the real-world and model aren’t aligned.

Here’s a couple of alternative coverage checkers:

  1. https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/mobile-coverage
  2. https://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Network/Coverage (has the iPhone models you wanted)

Anyway, good luck.
