How do I fix Wi-Fi and cellular data issues on my iPhone 16 Pro Max?

I am normally connected to a stable WiFi connection that has no issues with any other connected devices. Lately, this iPhone 16 PM will drop data at random times throughout the day. If I’m playing Diablo Immortal, I will stand there for about a minute without any movement. I’ve attempted to disable WiFi and use cell data only except it doesn’t fix the issue and happens with only cellular data being on as well. It’s frustrating dealing with this during any multiplayer modes with gaming. iOS is fully updated, I’ve reset network settings multiple times, and have done a factory data reset too. Is there a fix or an update that can fix this issue?

To troubleshoot Wi-Fi and cellular data issues on your iPhone 16 Pro Max, start by checking for software updates and ensuring correct date and time settings. If the problem persists, consider resetting your network settings, which will erase Wi-Fi passwords, cellular settings, and VPN/APN settings, according to Apple Support. You can also try forgetting and reconnecting to your Wi-Fi network, as suggested by YouTube. If cellular data is not working, verify that cellular data is turned on and that your carrier settings are up to date.

As posted above, a complete factory data reset was done. Meaning there are no other apps besides the originals that came with iOS. Also, I have auto date and time enabled. No vpn. Everything has been updated.
