Why do they want to make this ridiculously niche feature the make or break for flagships? Most of the world - by far most of Androids users - do not live in the depopulated Americas. I can't remember the last time I didn't have coverage.
I take it you have never been to mountains or driven through rural areas? Cell coverage is line of site.
I live in Ireland, rural areas is mostly what we have. We don't have national parks the size of Nigeria though.
I never paid particular attention to national park sizes until seeing your comment. "Everything is large and far away" is just part of the mindset in the US. :) Looked them up, and Nigeria would only rank as #23 for total land area compared to the US national parks... Crazy.
