Wow, that was a little rude.

How many of the troubleshooting steps that were already recommended have you tried, Poindexter?

Try this:

- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)

- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.

- Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

TJBUSMC1973 is implying this is a hardware issue (because allegedly otherwise ALL devices would be affected - a lame assumption as it leaves out the possibility of software conflicts which may explain the apparent selectiveness of the wifi disease). Tonefox is claiming the issue affects "up to a hundred individuals".

So here are some simple questions to both of them:

1. Suppose this IS a hardware issue. Then who is responsible (and should pay) for the hardware failure? Apple which manufactured the defective hardware which was pushed over the edge by a software update offered by Apple? Or maybe the owner of the defective hardware who had a WORKING PIECE OF HARDWARE until he/she made the update as suggested by Apple according to Apple's instructions?

2. Suppose the issue affects relatively few individuals. Apparently they are not to blame for the problem (they merely did what Apple told them to do - without warning of possible consequences). If they are so few, why won't Apple own up its failure and replace those "few" phones free of charge regardless of whether the warranty period has expired? Well, I believe that maybe the number of affected individuals is considerably higher (and disclosing the number would be VERY BAD PUBLICITY), or Apple has become too smug in its attitude towards its customers (hundreds of millions are happy, so let those who are unlucky - "up to a hundred" - do what they will, they are not OUR problem). Be that as it may, Apple's failure to heed the cries of those affected by the wifi disease (while hundreds of millions are happy, duh) borders on disgusting - and could be a harbinger of more woes to come. If Apple is not worried by a few users ("up to a hundred") defecting to Samsung or other competitors, this is BAD, as this is an indication of how others will be treated when new problems crop up.

3. Many claim that they had no problems while their iPhones were running on iOS 1.6.3. Rolling back to that version would easily resolve the hardware/software dilemma. Why won't Apple permit it - at least for those who openly say they have been affected by the wifi disease IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE UPGRADE to iOS 7?

Sorry for so many letters - it's just that I loved my iPhone, and now I feel betrayed - and being shrugged off because I am one of "up to a hundred" individuals who was stupid enough to believe they had purchased top-quality hardware DOES NOT HELP!

same here, this is my second phone ' blown by an upgrade' sick of apple..... feel utterly let down, 1st handset (4s) wifi dropped out during the ios 6 upgrade...12 months later the new handset does the same on ios 7..,, and before anyone asks yes have tried everything.... off to apple store tommorow and they better have a manager ready..... ive got three phones on contract , we renew in february and that will be the end of my apple journey...... loved the iphone..... however sick of being fobbed off with excuses ' its the hardware/ its a software issue/ its the software that casued the hardware isssue' ..... never again...... trouble is apple is so big it doesnt care..... the staff on the technical helpline seemed to be programmed to only say the same thing......

rant over.....

I've contacted Apple following this link http://www.apple.com/support/contact/, follow the steps. If your Care Plan has expired click on Exception -> IOS7.

It seems my iPhone 4s had a hardware issue with the WIFI chip. Apple replaced my iPhone without costs and mine had no warranty!

Hope it helps!

I just spent hours reading everything I could about this problem and finally read about toggeling the airplane mode and wifi hooked right up...for how long I dont know but its working for now

My wifi is still going strong, good speed too, glad it worked for you. Maybe at this stage a channel change for your wifi might speed things up.
