iOS 16.1 Causing Random Wi-Fi Disconnects for Some iPhone Users

16.1.1 did not cure the WiFi drop for me.

Having just served as the remote troubleshooter for an 80 year old victim of this bug, creating a 2.4 GHz network might be the workaround until this is fixed. Had a 5 GHz network that did NOT help with this.

iOS 16.1.1 is a battery killer. It made things on my iPhone 14 ProMax worse. Apple support ran diagnostics and confirmed everything was fine. I charged it for 100% and then saw an overnight battery drain of 14% in 7 Hours without being used. This is ridiculous from Apple. iOS 16.1 was perfect. Tried restart, force restart and nothing works. With just 22 mins of screen time about 20% battery gone. 😡

Hope Apple acknowledges and fixes this.

I was told the bug might pop up if one has more than one VPN. Once disabled or deleted, the connection is back to normal.

16.2 is working much better, but still not as well, as before 16.1. Maybe they’ll fix it before I die of old-age.

Still have this on 16.7.1 on an iPhone X...
