even though my carrier settings remain the same as 9.0 for T-Mobile (21.1), I noticed immediately my reception improved significantly. I used to have 1 bar of 4G at office. now I have full five bars of LTE.

something must've been updated on the OS side. anyone else notice cell reception improvements?

Cool! :) No sure if it's just me, it seems a little faster! iPhone 6 Plus.

Do you have any issues related to your T-Mobile or iMessage number changing?
 
Call me crazy, but my reception went from 1 dot ATT LTE to two dots after the update. I'll keep an eye on it over the next few hours but it seems to be improved.

i dont see any change at all in cell reception... the bars are still the same as what they were before.
 
2 dots to 3 LTE w/ AT&T at the office. although.....1.37Mbps DL and 0.29Mbps UL! :)
 
just another placebo. if i tilt my phone on my bed when laying down at just the right angle i get more signal too, done that for years..
