Wow, thank you for your detailed post.

I have multiple iPhone 14 Pro Max, all 16.4

All on Xfinity Mobile 54.0.1

Yes, I know Comcast sucks but they are the only provider in my area for gigabit and they whitelabel Verizon mmWave 5G for a serious discount if you bundle with their internet (which I’m basically forced to use)

In my case, I disable auto join on all 9 managed networks and 5 of them are back to enabled before I’m done checking the list.



If you don't want the service, why did you buy it, even if the discount was 100%?


“The service” was cellphone service, there is no logical reason my phone OS should arbitrarily lock me out of wifi settings due to my cellular carrier.


Oh. By the way you called it out as "mmWave" I assumed this meant it was some sort of wide-area thing and not generic 5g coverage.


Ah, no it’s regular LTE/5G but also has the advantage of being 5G+ (mmWave symbol on iOS) so I get near-gig cellular speeds.
