iPhone 6 Plus iOS 8.1.2 losing Wifi

It's never happened to me.

Has this been the case since you've had this phone, or is it new since 8.1.2?

Is it public WiFi Hotspots you are talking about or does this happen at home and/or work?

Any chance you are using bluetooth headset at the same time? I've noticed when I turn on my bluetooth sometimes the WiFi will drop, but I do see the indicator switch to LTE.

This is the exact issue I had with my iPhone 5. Weird. I haven't had that problem on my 6 Plus but it will sometimes randomly disconnects then reconnects to my Wi-Fi network. No big deal as it usually fixes itself within 10 seconds and I am back up and running.

Have you tried a restore as new in iTunes? It normally wouldn't help with my iPhone 5, but it might be different this time around.

Good luck! I'd also try calling AppleCare and seeing what they say.

If you are in the US: 800-APL-CARE

My 6+ regularly drops its WiFi connection. I often notice the 4G symbol instead of the WiFi blips and have to manually select the connection again. I think this started with 8.1.2

I've not had any issues with wifi here. 64GB MLC 6 Plus.

Mine only drops WiFi in areas of low signal, it doesn't drop signal willy nilly. However, my Android tablet and old iPhone 5 didn't drop signal in the same room (where I have a low signal).

They'll replace it especially if they can replicate the issue.

I actually had a similar issue. I took care of it by doing "network reset" and the problem seem to go away.

Interesting. This only happens to me when I connect to a NETGEAR router at my buddy's place. It won't stay connected. When I wake the phone up, and wait a few seconds, it connects.

Don't have any of these issues with my AEBS

Try turning off Airdrop

I have an iPhone 6 plus that just started dropping wifi a couple of days ago. I have had iOS 8.1.2 since it became available and have had my iPhone for a few months. Not sure why it started but no matter what I do nothing fixes it. It's any wifi connection and I've reset everything and no luck. Right now it says it's connected but a minute ago it wasn't. It just keeps switching back and forth and usually I need to manually reconnect to wifi just for it to drop the second I try to use the Internet. Hope there's a fix and that we're not alone with this. I find it odd that a bug could wait so long to take effect.

iPhone 6 still dropping wifi connection

I read lots of issues of iPhone dropping the wifi connection in my house, and after reseting my network settings (did not fix problem), after powering device off (did not fix problem) and or after toggling the wifi on/off - none of these issues resolved my problem. It is now March 2015 and I don't see any fresh mentions of this issues (all issues are dated from iPhone6 launch in Sept/Oct 2014). IOS 8 had several releases now but I still have this problem and the only thing that works for me is powering off/on my home router, after which the iPhone is connecting rapidly until it drops connection again. I found out about this after Verizon started charging me for additional data usage and did not know what is going on. Now I turned the data usage off from most apps and only this way I know that my iPhone 6 connection was lost when the apps themselves cannot connect due to my settings. This happens several times per day lately and is very annoying. Any other fixes you guys can think of? I bought my iP6 in February 2015 one month ago. Thank you very much.

Is it just your home WiFi or any WiFi? If just your home WiFi, check to make sure that your router is updated to the latest firmware and see if that helps. If it's any WiFi, your best bet is to get to an Apple Store and have your phone checked.

With the 6+, there seems to be Bluetooth issues. At the Apple Store today, and including me 3 other people with their BT, Connecting fine, but then drop the connection randomly. I've had this issue for some time now, but was hoping that it was software, not hardware. I was lucky to get a good 6+, and didn't want to play the lotto with my +. Well, they determined it was hardware, and the Genius had stated she has been seeing this with +'s. Wasn't able to get anything other than that. So now I have a + on the way, And I hope I didn't trade one issue for another, hence this thread about Wi-Fi now.

My 6 plus does the same at one public wifi only.
It's connected but doesn't pull any more data.
Once I restart the phone reconnects and connection stays fine.
Hope a future firmware update will correct it but it doesn't do it with all routers. Just one particular public connection.
