Q: My iPhone 6 does not connect with anything

So I have had my iPhone 6 for around a year and a half now. At first everything was perfect, but slowly and out of nowhere my phone became completely janky. I cannot connect to any bluetooth devices, trying to connect to wifi is impossible no matter the range and distance, and my current location is always incorrect. I have tried restoring my phone but nothing has seemed to work. Has anyone else ever encountered this problem before?

 

please any advice will truly help!

iOS 9.3.5

    Below is a User Tip about Wi-Fi issues. Suggest starting from the top and working down.

     

    1) Restart you device. If a normal restart does not help try holding down the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

    2) Reset Network Settings:  Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Rejoin the Network again.

    3) Reboot Router/Modem:  Unplug from power for 2 minutes and plug again. Update Router Firmware (check manufacturer’s support website for a newer FW). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (20 MHz recommended for the 2.4 band). Channels 1, 6 or 11 are recommended for the 2.4 band.

    4) Change to Google's DNS:  Settings > Wi-Fi > Click on the Network, Delete all numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or alternatively 8.8.4.4

    5) Disable device prioritization on the router if this feature is available. Also disable any VPN apps and test Wi-Fi again.

    6) Determine if other Wi-Fi devices on network are working well (other iOS devices, Macs, PCs).

    7) Try device at another Network, i.e., neighbors’, public coffee house, etc.

    8) Backup and Restore the Device using iTunes. Try restoring as New first and testing it. If ok try restoring the backup (the backup could be corrupted).

    9) Go to an Apple store for hardware evaluation. The Wi-Fi chip or the antenna could be defective.
