I may be able to help with issue #2.

Are you using the Attention Awareness feature for Face ID? It states that it may not work with sunglasses as it wants to see your eyes to know where you are looking.

Turn Attention Aware features on or off on your iPhone or iPad Pro - Apple Support

Are you using the Add Glasses feature to your main Face ID Appearance or using an Alternate Appearance while using your sunglasses. The instructions for that feature state: Add a pair of transparent glasses (not sunglasses) to your appearance: Tap Add Glasses, then follow the onscreen instructions.

Set up Face ID on iPhone - Apple Support

Those limitations while wearing sunglasses were the same on iOS 18 as well. Those posts pop up every now and again where the user was directed to those same Support Articles even before iOS 26 was released.

Sorry I can't be more helpful with your other questions. I don't use Waze so can't help with that issue and the only major city I use my phone in is Seattle and have not experienced any drop outs there.
