Hi,

i have an iPhone XS MAX which performs really weak on Bluetooth/Wifi.

Example:
Stretching my Arm out while having the phone in my pocket will cancel the bluetooth connection between my applewatch and the iphone (no, i'm not a gorilla).

There are multiple more occasions, like bluetooth audio in the car which won't work if i have the phone in my pocket, or WiFi being significantly weaker compared to an iPad or iPhone X that are on the same spot.
I remember that with my iPhone X i was able to take calls while being in the next room in my house.

I tried completely resetting the iPhone (not from Backup), but it didn't fix the issue.

My thought is : if the antenna module for wifi/bluetooth was broken, it wouldn't work at all. But mine works just worse than what i'm used to from my iPhone X.

Anybody has any suggestions?
 
We were in the country last weekend, and I had my KEF MUO playing some music that my wife liked near the fire pit. I walked away to grab something from the car, and made it about 45 feet away before I heard her yelling. I would say bring it in for repair. I can shoot a signal from upstairs to the basement no problem.
