iphone 13 pro max gps problems

Scratch that theory. Mine is a Series 5.

While GPS worked perfectly for 3 short drives, it went back to the same messed up ways on a 3mi drive home without wearing my watch. Showed me off the road in the middle of a field and wouldn't re-route me.

I have a senior advisor assigned to my case who is escalating it to engineering. I've been taking screen recordings of the behavior and uploading it for Apple. Hopefully something comes out of it.

I don’t have an Apple Watch but having GPS problems in the 13 pro phone and it’s now synching with my old 5S that I still keep on to cross check GPS. I think it’s taking the metrics from iCloud, as both are quite similar but not exactly same because I don’t always carry both devices. What a pain! It’s a safety issue … potentially dangerous to have malfunctioning GPS. GPS so important for driving, walking places. I hope I don’t have to return this less than 2 week old phone. Really wanted the 13 pro camera, but this problem is a very serious issue.

I've said it a couple times now. The fact that I've tested watch without phone - no issue, phone without watch - no issue, and both together - issue is quite telling. After a couple days since restoring, it would *knock on wood* seem things are working fine. in strava, the routes are still extra jank and jaggy, albeit overlayed correctly now.

My wife and I are BOTH having the exact same problem. I have an iPhone 13 and she has the 13 Pro. This has to be a bug of hardware issue. All radios are on all the time.

I returned my 13 and got my trusty 11 back. GPS works flawless on the 11, never had a single issue.

APPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED. they are going downhill

Any luck ? I updated and havent seen the issue since but it only happens once in a while??

Oh no.

my phone was just out 14 days from purchase and this started.

i guess will try my luck again at the apple store :/

Yes, I do. An old series 2. Is yours the same series? I’ll try leaving it off next time.

Let's see if 15.3.1 fixes anything.

Had the same GPS issues driving home from my parents house in another state. The GPS would contestant reroute and would show me in the highway or in a field. Tried Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze. All three were acting the same.

Update 12/2

Apple called back explaining the engineers want log files. They had me install a new Profile that allows me to capture Location and Motion logs. The next time I witness the GPS problem, I'll enable screen recording and send the video to Apple along with the log files being captured. This will give them the additional diagnostics they need.

To be clear, at this juncture I've sent Apple two screen recordings showing the GPS problem. This will be their third recording that they have.

Stay tuned...

How many people need to complain to apple before this gets resolved. I had to buy a gamin gps due to my phone not working correctly. I haven’t had to have a separate gos from my phone in years. Guess I need to sell my Apple products and go to android

I have the same problem with GPS which shows inaccurate position on my iPhone 13. I restart my iPhone, turn off and on location services but it does not help. I have iOS 15.1.1.

It is a very frustrating problem considering how many applications use location services, e.g. I cannot open an Inpost box remotely

Good to know, I don't want to go through a reset if it returns. APPLE, are you listening? this is an issue. Apple told me they have never heard of this issue when I spoke to them on the phone on Friday. It's very annoying and hopefully they figure it out soon.

Yesterday was the first time the problem "self-corrected" on my phone. After the GPS went haywire (as usual), about 10 minutes later the GPS latched on to the accurate route. I've never had it self-correct in this fashion, but just curious if anyone else has experience this self-correction without needing a reboot?
