- The new weBoost Drive 4G-S and Drive 3G-S (formerly the Sleek line of boosters) are now able to accommodate larger phones and phablets, such as the iPhone 6 Plus.
- All of the new building boosters have automatic gain control, so no more dials on the amplifiers. This means that each booster will automatically adjust the coverage area to be optimal for the way it's setup. You can still increase the coverage area by increasing the separation between the antennas, but the amplifier will take care of the fine tuning for you.
- The individual products have been renamed to help consumers determine the right product group to solve their cell phone reception problem.
