iPhone 17 has a wireless connection failure, Bluetooth stability has become a serious problem

　　People of the basic version of iPhone 17 and iPhone Air recently reported in relevant communities that the device has problems with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and CarPlay connection stability. It is worth mentioning that CarPlay relies on Wi-Fi technology to connect the mobile phone to the on-board host.

According to user feedback, data transmission will be temporarily stuttered during the use of CarPlay, and the audio will be intermittent due to delay, and even fragments will be lost.

　　When connecting to Bluetooth devices such as AirPods, some users also encountered the problem of connection interruption. Some users also pointed out that when the phone is in locked state, the new iPhone 17/17 Air will periodically disconnect Wi-Fi hotspot connection. Although the interruption lasts less than a second, frequent failures seriously affect the user experience.

Some users noticed that the above problems only occur when used with the Apple Watch. Unlocking the iPhone through the on-board system when wearing an Apple Watch will cause CarPlay connection to be stuck or randomly disconnected. Similar phenomena may also occur when connecting to Vision Pro headset devices.

Users who have installed iOS 26.1 beta report that the stability of wireless connections has improved to a certain extent, which indicates that the problem is expected to be solved through software updates. Since Apple has equipped the new generation of iPhones with its own N1 communication controller, the abnormal initial work may be related to this. If you look back at the cases where some failures have been fixed in the iOS 26.0.1 update, the current problem is likely to be resolved through subsequent system upgrades.
