iPhone 17 experiencing Wi-Fi points
Fortunately, in the meanwhile, it appears not loads of customers are experiencing the difficulty, however only a small quantity. Based on stories, the iPhone 17 intermittently drops its Wi-Fi connection.
On high of that, individuals’s stories are at occasions relatively complicated about precisely what occurs. One widespread factor in all of the stories is that Wi-Fi, and generally Bluetooth, drops when an iPhone 17 is both locked or unlocked. Based on some customers, the connection then resets after just a few seconds.
This might additionally make AirPlay unusable for some individuals, whereas different individuals report CarPlay not working correctly both.
Picture Credit score – Apple
A number of customers declare that the difficulty comes solely when they’re sporting an Apple Watch, so the timepiece may probably be associated to the bug as nicely. For some individuals, locking the Apple Watch or taking it off fixes issues. However there’s not one Apple Watch mannequin reported to be inflicting the difficulty, so it is not within the Apple Watch mannequin.
The difficulty appears to have an effect on the bottom iPhone 17, however there are some stories for the iPhone Air and the iPhone 17 Pro Max as nicely.
iPhone 17 is much from good
Earlier, there was one other situation reported with the iPhone 17 as nicely, the dropping of mobile connectivity. Coupled with this situation and an odd bug with some images, it appears the iPhone 17 is not free from bugs at this early stage.
After all, this occurs with each new launch and never simply with Apple gadgets, so there aren’t any surprises right here (which, I might dare to say, will not be best by way of person expertise).
Fortunately, although, not less than with regards to the Wi-Fi situation, some customers have reported it and been informed it is escalated to Apple’s engineers. Additionally, some people report the difficulty will not be noticed with iOS 26.1 (which is at the moment in developer beta), so possibly the repair goes to come back quickly.
One other reassuring factor is that the difficulty does not appear to be affecting each single person with CarPlay, an iPhone 17, and an Apple Watch, so it appears unlikely that we’re speaking a couple of {hardware} situation right here. Software program points are those that may be mounted by software program updates, whereas {hardware} points are extra problematic, so that is excellent news, usually.
Bugs are inevitable with a brand new launch
I discover it relatively annoying that you just purchase a brand-new iPhone, and it has points. Or any telephone, for that matter. Nevertheless, I can perceive that software program and {hardware} are powerful to construct, and in addition, perfection does not exist.
At the very least, we’re not speaking about large bugs or an enormous variety of customers experiencing it right here, in order that’s reassuring. Nonetheless, I do hope that Apple fixes these small inconveniences rapidly. I’ve additionally seen some bugs with iOS 26 on my older iPhone (the 13 Professional Max), however they’re minor and can doubtless go away with the following software program launch.
