Some iPhone users are experiencing connectivity issues with Wi-Fi networks after upgrading to Apple’s new iOS 17 operating system, according to reports from several users.
9to5mac reported that some users have mentioned experiencing unusual slowness when connecting to Wi-Fi networks, with some apps unable to load content after installing the new iOS 17 system.
Other users have stated that their Wi-Fi connection may occasionally drop without a clear reason, while the connection remains stable for other devices connected to the same network.
The problem appears to affect traditional apps that rely on internet connectivity, which either stop working or fail to load content. According to reports, affected devices may automatically reconnect after a few minutes, or users may need to manually disable and re-enable the network connection to resolve the issue.
The issue has been more pronounced in the new iPhone 15 models, which come with iOS 17 pre-installed, but it has started to appear on other iPhone models after installing the new system.
Apple has not officially commented on these reports, and the extent of the issue among users is unknown.
Apple has recently released several minor updates to address various issues, such as overheating problems and data transfer issues in iPhone 15, in addition to security fixes.
Users affected by this issue are hoping that it will be resolved with upcoming updates, with iOS 17.1 currently in the testing phase and expected to be released soon.
