iPhone 18 Pro: VPN toggle bounces, apps show no internet, Music app fails.
I have an iPhone 18 Pro 256 GB running iOS 27.0.1 that I received on 9/22/26, upgrading from a 15 Pro. At home I have AT&T Fiber powering my WiFi at 1 GB speed. There are a number of issues that have manifested themselves with the new phone:
- I had previously had installed Proton VPN on the old phone. But it is not connected on the 18. In fact, the toggle switch bounces back and forth on its own between connected and not connected while looking at it in the Settings.
- A number of apps will state I have no internet connection, despite the WiFi symbol being displayed at the top of the screen. That includes the SpeedTest app, which loads, states I am connected to the internet, but then when it begins its test, errors out and tells me to check my internet connection.
- Another issue is my Music app and some songs don't play now. The play button pops up after a short silence between songs and pressing it does nothing. And under General Settings, it shows I have 0 songs, when I had 2,000+ on my previous iPhone -- though my library on the phone does show they were transferred and I backed up the new phone to my iMac and synced it.
TIA
