A quick search brings up the following article: https://www.recode.net/2016/9/9/12863302/apple-iphone-7-inte...

To summarize, iPhone 7 models A1660 and A1661 contain Qualcomm modems, whereas models A1778 and A1784 have Intel modems.

(There are two extra iPhone models solid in Japan; A1779 and A1785. I assume they feature Qualcomm.)

Not sure if this is relevant, but my new Intel iPhone 7+ really struggles (1 bar) in areas where the same SIM in my wife's Qualcomm iPhone 6 gets 3-4 bars.

Seems worse with older standards like 3G.
