The comment you’re replying to is incredibly concerning. Is he saying people at Google are purposefully misrepresenting signal strength so they can “compete” with Apple?
Except you have no idea why Apple is changing the signal display. They could be lying, or they could have a standardised test in which newer hardware performs better. This guy, on the other hand, is clearly saying that Google has no such thing and they're blindly copying Apple regardless of the performance of their hardware.
