Having problems with iPhone 6 gps signal is weak and not strong enough for maintaining a signal for Strava. Bluetooth also can’t maintain connection unless it is within 3 feet of the device. Is this a software issue/settings issue/iOS 12 update issue/hardware issue. Recommended solutions would be great fully received.

If you are outside and the GPS is having trouble connecting to 3 satellites and BT is also acting up it is probably a hardware problem with the antenna in your iPhone. Click on the Contact Support link on the top right of this page.
That sounds like a hardware problem with antennas. Was this phone ever opened or repaired?
GPS by itself, BTW, will only work outdoors with a clear view of most of the sky. Even trees can block GPS signals. To use GPS effectively you must have Wi-Fi enabled, as iOS uses the known map of router locations to supplement the weak GPS signals.
Thanks Deggie, yes the problem is outside. My main concern was a hardware issue.
Thanks Lawrence, it is a reconditioned iPhone replacement, which is now a year old. It makes sense it is a hardware issue.
GPS signal is weak intermittent Bluetooth signal weak drops at 3 feet
