This area is how I realized I must have an Intel modem in my iPhone: after being on airplane mode as I traversed it, I couldn’t pick up any reception for some time after.

I assumed at first it was because I was still in a mountainous area, but finally realized the modem was never going to reconnect, and had to power cycle my phone.

Could you clarify what Intel has to do with it?

Just that the Intel modems had a reputation for being more trouble-prone than Qualcomm.

Now that I look back, however, I think I was wrong. I was probably on Verizon on the iPhone X, which would have been Qualcomm.
