Q: Why do my new iPad and iPhone have a massively slower wifi speed when the Bluetooth is on?!
I Tried looking at rebooting etc until I found a post saying that the Bluetooth is causing the devices to have a much slower connection. I therefore turned off Bluetooth and got 65 instead of 11 gig download speed. However, being disabled, my Apple Pencil and pebble watch are very important to me, so this isn't a viable option for me. What can I do? Is a fix even planned??! Running the latest iOS with all patches etc in place. Tried closing everything else and rebooting both the devices and the router etc, but turning off Bluetooth is so far the only thing that makes a difference. My old iPad mini and iPhone 6 were fine, but I traded them in
iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 10.0.2, Or Snow Leopard

Hi. If you're using a 2.4 GHz WiFi network, instead of the newer 5 GHz, Bluetooth uses the same frequency band and may interfere with it. Try changing to 5 GHz, ir your router supports it.
