WiFi and Bluetooth greyed out
My WiFi and Bluetooth will not work on my phone. I have tried resetting. I have tried hard resetting. I have updated my phone. I have tried resetting network settings. I have an iPhone 11 on iOS 16.4.1

Wifi and Bluetooth greyed out on my Iphone 12 Pro, when updating to ios 17.1.1. This was fixed when I installed the 17.1.2 update 3 days ago, But today suddenly the Iphone restarted by itself, and wifi and Bluetooth are greyed out again. Still on ios 17.1.2. What is going on ?

Apple should be investigated for this. They have done something to our older phones to make this happen. It’s possible this was done on purpose to make people upgrade their phones but I won’t go that far. Too many people have this same problem for this to be coincidence. I have an iPhone 12 Pro, same issue. First it was WiFi constantly disconnecting and reconnecting, then it was both WiFi and Bluetooth not able to toggle on and off, now I’m getting the random shutdowns too. This is ridiculous.
I have a iPhone 12 pro max, mine has been even more weird after the recent updates. It happened a couple of days ago, my phone would randomly restart and on alternate restart incidents, both wifi and bluetooth (both control centre and settings) would be greyed out, and when clicking on the bluetooth setting it's just an infinite loading sign. After each of these episodes, the next random restart, they would be fine (for a few minutes) before the phone restart and they're greyed out again. It's been driving me nuts... :,(
Exact same thing has been happening with me.
Except now Bluetooth and WiFi don’t work at all.
Tried resetting network settings, hard restart and a reset to factory settings and nothing has worked.
It does not have to do with your iOS; instead, you damaged the motherboard by dropping it. Apple's sandwich logiboard isn't durable on the 12 models. Your Apple Pay might stop working as well. You can check it in Settings->General->About.

If Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are Dulled-Out:
Try the Following in the Order Provided:
A. Restarting the iPhone:
If any changes were made (i.e. Installed Apps), then Settings (i.e Wf-Fi), may have become manipulated technically. So, try restarting the iPhone:
B. Disable Cellular:
Try disabling Cellular, and using Wi-Fi instead, seeing if that makes all the difference.
C. Try manually restarting your iPhone:
D. Reset All Network Settings to Default:
Example of items that will be reset: (Wi-Fi Passwords, VPN Connections, etc)
As a Last Resort:
E. Restore form a Backup:
Have a backup of your iPhone? If you are not concerned with losing data, then restore your iPhone from a backup that was made when Wi-Fi was working. Prior to restoring, backup your iPhone, incase anything goes wrong with the restoration.

You are welcome.

How exactly are you resetting this to factory settings? Rather than doing so the manual way, there is a workaround that may fix all of this. Perform as instructed here, including the backup creation and iCloud logout: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
I’m facing the same issue after updating on 17.1.2
and I’ve tried everything nothing works.

This is paranoid. It is very unlikely that they are doing anything deliberate to cause your WiFi and Bluetooth to malfunction.
The exact same thing happened to one of our phones! Apple told me it is going to be $492 to diagnose. It worked fine up until 2 days ago. The I was able to do a hard rest and got it to work yesterday. Now today nothing will work. We did a hard reset, soft reset and 2 back-ups and nothing!!!
I actually think the paranoia is on point this time. How come this happens to totally normal phones, no problems prior? And to so many of them! In the Genius Bar they actually told me the only solution I had was buying a new iPhone. It's shameful.
I have a v13 not exactly an old phone. My spouse has an 11 with no problems.
I am so discussed by people and their conspiracy theories.
wake up?
we have reached a point now where tec companies can’t stop the security breaches and they are not going to tell the public they have issues because everything would implode on itself.
Having the same issue. I haven’t had cell service in about a year just been using my iPhone through wifi. And at the same time the wifi and bluetooth became greyed out, my cellular service now says error and tells me I need an update which I can’t do unless connected to internet. I updated my phone to the current iOS with my Mac but still no fix. Any suggestions before I reset to factory settings?
I have an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and I have the same issue. I used the iPhone a few times until someday, the phone restarted and lost all wireless connections. Apple Pay worked for a while until it was completely disabled. Also, updating iOS stopped working; the update message would keep spinning, and I had to restart the phone to exit it. The phone can still use WiFi (when it's not greyed out), but it won't connect to a Cellular Network (the Network indicates shows). Strangely, it happens mainly on iPhone 12 PRO MAX and a few other 12 models. It's a logic board design flaw, and I wish Apple would acknowledge this issue and offer a free replacement.
