Wifi on iPhone Air keeps dropping out

Whenever I leave my iPhone Air alone, either on a desk or in Standby mode on a charger, it will disconnect from WiFi. This takes time, generally somewhere between 5 minutes and 20 minutes, but it will always disconnect. I do not have a VPV and I use WiFi calling. No such issues with my M4 Mac mini, M4 iPad Pro, or my previous iPhone 14 Pro Max. Very frustrating. This is especially true when my iPhone Air is on a Satechi charger on my desk in Standby mode and a call comes in; the Coll will only go to my computer, never to the iPhone Air. Before the iPhone air, the call would always ring on my iPhone 14 Pro Max and M4 Mac mini

Somewhat same issue here, sounds like the bug that's being talked about everywhere. I have the Air also, was fine for the first 4-5 days.

Now when unlocking Wifi disconnects and it takes a few minutes for 5G to kick in and then wifi reconnects about about a minute. When doing Apple Workout with my watch, my Apple Watch & AirPods Pro 3 will randomly disconnect if I unlock my phone.

And I have actually seen my 5G disconnect and go to SOS randomly when unlocking my phone when away from my Wifi & home.

And if you search around Google, you will see TONS of threads on this already. It's affecting all 17 models & Air. (N1 chip). My buddy has the 17 Pro and he is having disconnect issues on wireless CarPlay.

I'm pulling my hair out because the 14 days are almost up and wish Apple would confirm a software bug (or fix upcoming) or hardware issue...
