Upgraded to an iPhone15 from an iPhone X (yes, really) and ever since the wifi connection is awful. Pages that loaded perfectly on the same WiFi with my iPhone X, will load very slow if at all. More often than not, I end up getting frustrated with the slowness that I just exit out of the app or site. It’s really bad and I’m not sure if this is a settings problem or if my WiFi chip might be defective??
iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17
Turning off Apple iCloud+ Private Relay worked for me. It didn’t cause performance issues on my old iPhone 12 mini, but has done since I upgraded to an iPhone 15. Could be a coincidence as there have been reported issues with Private Relay recently (it is Apples version of VPN).
To turn off - Settings > Apple ID page (select your name at the top) > ICloud > go down to iCloud+ section > Private Relay > toggle off
Or just search Private Relay in settings and Bobs your uncle.
Soon as I made that change my internet browsing is instantly back to normal.
Id rather pay for Nord VPN for encryption rather than have performance issues from iCloud+ Private Relay.
I am going to return the phone - it’s total crap on WiFi and cellular. A scandal.
iPhone 15pro on 17.2.1
Phone isn’t loading any website nor refreshing Facebook + Instagram app.
I am on data typing this. It’s so frustrating.
Please Apple Help!
This did it for me. Have to check into my VPN setup again later having just set this new phone up.
I have tried every single recommendation on this thread, my phone connection to my wifi network still sucks.
It won’t let me vote right now but that 👆🏼from JMAN712 did it for me! Thank you!
I don’t know how you found this but I think it fixed my issue too. Thanks!
This solution worked like magic for me. Flying again thank you👍
Why the **** did this work 😭. also thanks
NICE!! I just turned it off on mine and went from 30Mb/s to 1.18Gb/s!
Thank you! Now are hackers going to collect my fingerprints tho. Seriously tho, what did I turn off lol
I'm FED UP with Apple 15 WiFi ..RIDICULOUSLY SLOW.. when is the fix coming.. you're losing me Apple!!!
This doubled my speed immediately.
this worked for me. Thanks!
The problem is likely that VPN is on. And a second problem is, turning VPN off takes two steps (it likes to turn itself back on).
This will turn off VPN and ensure it won't try to start up again. I went through this with an Apple technician and it solved my internet speed problem.
iPhone 15 WiFi painfully slow.
