iphone6s - latest updates to 13.3.1 - wifi issue since dec 2019 - speed checks show download speed is limited to .5 to 2mbs.


Switch off Bluetooth and Wifi is back to 30mbs.


Annoying as the car always wants to use bluetooth when it actually connects via wifi - wth.


Any fix sometime soon?

iPhone 6s Plus. iOS software engineers are supposedly investigating. If speaking to Apple Support, please quote Case ID #100947310444. Senior advisors own the case. Support resources are limited. If you’re experiencing this exact problem with an iPhone 6s device, do not visit an Apple Store, as they will only encourage you to upgrade your phone to a newer model lol

I accidentally realised I am facing the same problem on iPhone7+.


For sometime now my iPhone was occasionally slow when opening email, surfing the web, using instagram etc.


Yesterday I was trying to do some work and realised that my iPad was connecting at normal speeds to wifi while my iPhone didn't.


So I started running speed tests and realised that my iPhone was downloading at erratic speeds. One minute it would download at max speed and then the next it would drop even under 0,5Mbps - it would struggle for sometime and then for no reason it would increase.


At the same time ALL other devices (iPads, MBP etc) are downloading at max speeds so it ISN'T the router or the connection.


I have tried to reset network settings to no avail.


There is an issue here and needs to be addressed.

Been experiencing this exact issue on iPhone 6s Plus, immediately following update to iOS 13.2. Currently running iOS 13.3 and the issue persists, however I have recently discovered deactivating Bluetooth completely seems to resolve the wifi performance issue. Bluetooth is obviously necessary for AirDrop, handoff, continuity, Apple Watch, and headphones among other software features so operating without Bluetooth is not a solution.
