Hi everyone!

Unfortunately, i am having problems probably related to wi-fi and Bluetooth again but rather than solely internet connection it is also affecting a connection between iPhone XS Max and Apple Watch Series 4.

Apple Watch randomly drops connection between iPhone, even when Phone is in my Pocket. It happens around 5-10 times a day.

If I’m far to Apple Watch more than a meter, there is no way for them to connect if there is no known networks around.

Beside from reliable connection, my iPhone even does not show specific wi-fi networks on 2.4GHz. If it is available to connect, it is no where near with any other iPhone in favor of reliability and performance of connection.

Some of the features regarding to proximity never-ever working. It never shows up an animation if I open case of an AirPods and it never see new Apple devices after factory reset to suggest a new setup.

Interestingly I have no issues with any kind of Bluetooth device rather than Apple Watch. My Bang and Olufsen H9 working for more extended range than when it was connected to my previous iPhone X

I did everything that i can do, setting up apple watch and iPhone as a new, resetting network and such. I even use Apple Watch with friends’ iPhone and it worked pretty well. Both devices are updated, rebooted for several times and even hey both restored as new...

I am not pretty sure if it is a hardware related issue but is there anyone else there exposed to those problems same as mine? I am gount to be so busy for a week but later on, I am thinking to head to Genius Bar. My only hopy is 12.1.3

Experiencing similar issues lately with AirPods and AW Series 4 with my Max. Lots of Airpod dropouts and AW disconnects if something gets between devices (limb/torso/MacBook Pro etc). Currently on the 12.1.3 beta and have only really noticed it recently so hoping that's the cause of my issue that will get ironed out.

Speaking more generally I have terrible WiFi issues with my Max and home broadband (Sky Q mesh network). That said, my Bluetooth issues are also seen outside of the home
