Q: gps not working properly after iOS 9.3 update

My guess is that its a certain type or generation of hardware that went into a series of iPhones that is not playing well with later versions of iOS and third party apps, such as Waze.  When I took my phone to Apple, they ran diagnostics--hardware was "fine" issue was shown to be software. 

Yep, me too.

GPS/Location issues & Poor Wifi connection after Apple update.

Tried everything. Hard reset, factory reset, restoration via iTunes & icloud. I've been into Apple stores and had diagnostic checks. Despite nothing being found, I pointed out to Apple Care today over the phone that I don't see why I should have to pay for repairs (New phone) after it was Apple's update that caused this issue. Well, words can not described how less than bothered the Apple rep was. He was even less bothered when I said I  was thinking of leaving Apple because of this (Drop in the ocean I know). I even pointed out this very forum topic and the thousands of people experience in this.. again, just not bothered.

Months of problems, countless visits to Apple stores and loads of extra data burnage after wifi has failed.. and nothing.  No advice that's worked, no assistance from Apple and few months left on contract. Really.. I think it's  time to change device brands. Apple just aren't bothered about this one, people.

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine started after the most recent update. I've also tried all the suggested fixes (e.g. System restore, factory settings) but nothing worked. I've taken the phone to the Genius Bar twice - I've been told it's a hardware issue and that I need to pay $300.

Fortunately, I think I've found the solution - it's called the Samsung Galaxy S7 upgrade. Call your local phone provider, they'll get you set up.

I Had the exact same issue...tried everything but no joy...

replaced the wifi and gps antenna and all is working perfectly again....any reputable phone

repair shop should be able to do it for around £30-40...thats what I did....

I had this same problem too. I followed the suggestion of others by replacing the wifi/gps antenna at a third party vendor - so far so good. It seems to have fixed the problem.

It was suggested that the antenna was a different generation and that one of the recent updates fried something. My phone was not under warranty and I sure as **** was not going to pay $300 to fix something that was likely the result of a software update. A new antenna was $4.88 from Amazon, . After three visits to the Genius Bar and no solutions offered (other than me paying lots of cash)  this will be the LAST iPhone me or my family will own for a very long time. Working with Apple on this has been a nightmare.
