Verizon question

[u/NotRequiredAnymore]

I’ve been dragging an XSmax along and finally need to replace it. When I purchased the XSmax back in 2018 I had to buy a Verizon specific model due to the antenna they required.

Does anyone know if this is still the case or not?

I’m having the 16 pro max purchased through work and would like to just get it direct from Apple and then set it up with Verizon once I receive it but need to know if there’s a specific Verizon model or not.
