No more problems than with any other cell phone I've had.  

 

Probably less than most actually, because the iPhone 7 Plus has access to WiFi Calling and it'll use that if the cell signal gets too low.

 

@Anonymous Have you activated WiFi Calling on your iPhone 7+?

Sorry!  I generally have 2 or 3 bars. That's when I look at it, it's not something I pay much attention to all the time. 

 

I've notice sometime that changing WiFi networks sometimes affects my bars and also seems to affect if WiFi calling is on or off.

 

But turning on Airplane mode and enabling WiFi calling immediately activates WiFi calling. Not sure why they don't have it on all the time.

There is no standard and what someone else gets doesn't mean anything to you. I don't have a 7 but I am on my 4th iPhone (a 6s) and I've never gotten more than 2 bars in my home and then only near a window. I don't believe the 7 is any better reception wise than the 6s, so I would expect the same with a 7.

That's funny, I jump up to 4 bars when I turn off LTE too.
