... I still see old iPhone 6+ (iOS v12.4.8) sometimes use 3G and 1X due to the poor
rural signal locations. What happens when 3G is no more in 2021? Does that mean iPhone
6+ will get no service at all since 3G (and 1X?) is/are missing?
What about voice phone service? Do those use 3G?
Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are both 4G capable devices.

Is voice over GSM just voice? I know sometimes non-cellular data connections get no
signal too. :(
