iPhone Xs Max won't show most of the available wifi networks
This has been happening since I got my phone over 5 months ago. It will only show 1 (or sometimes 2) available wifi networks. This inhibits me from connecting to one or more that I need to at home and the office. My MacBook Pro and iPad will show all the networks available and I can connect to them, but the Xs Max just shows maybe the strongest signal.
I also have a Sony digital camera that can broadcast its own wifi network but again the Xs Max won't see it when all other devices do....even if the camera is sitting next to the iPhone.
Fed up with the issue, I've tried every workaround and fix that I have read, but nothing has worked. I even did a full factory reset (set up phone as New) and it only saw one wifi network again after the iPhone finished setting up.
Not sure if this is a constant iOS 12, 12.1 and now 12.2 issue or a hardware issue?
Any others out there have a solution that works? Or am I doomed with this buggy phone and the new communications chips that Apple used in these newer models?
My next step is to try to get a replacement if that's possible.
