MiFi vs iPhone6
Not really expecting an answer for this "phenomena"

I have noticed that sometimes our mifi gets more bars than the iPhone. Sometimes it's the other way.
Right now where we are parked, the mifi gets one not usable bar boosted, while the iPhone gets three bars and pretty good speed up and down.  Other times, it works just the opposite. Both on Verizon.

Or perhaps "phonenomenon". I have had the same experience.

When using a good antenna system, along with an amplifier I see little difference in signal strength between devices.
Here is one cure to weak cell signals.
