iPhones. You can get a more accurate reading of an iPhone's signal strength by dialing $* 3001 \# 12345 \#^{*} .$ Field test mode is then activated and the standard signal strength bars (in the upper left corner of the display) are replaced by a negative number. The closer the negative number is to zero, the stronger the signal. Which iPhone shown below is receiving the strongest signal?
