BlueTooth/WiFi issues after iOS 11 update on iPhone

I updated iOS to 11 and every update since and have had nothing but issues with WiFi and Bluetooth. The Bluetooth will connect but is choppy and skips a lot, WiFi will have full signal, then drop the connection and won’t reconnect until I put in the password 5xs (every WiFi connection, any Bluetooth device). I’ve reset network settings, turned the airplane mode on, “forgot” all connections and reconnected, even reset my phone as a new one. Still no dice! This didn’t happen until iOS 11. Any help? This isn’t the first time an iOS update has messed my phone up. I am considering going to Samsung (I know this doesn’t matter to anyone, but my level of frustration is astounding).

There are major issues in the security side of them and they stay open to attack and tons of errors.

And these are?

instead of continuing to keep coming out with new devices, they should perfect the ones they have made from i6 to X.

I feel you and in my opinion instead of continuing to keep coming out with new devices, they should perfect the ones they have made from i6 to X. There are major issues in the security side of them and they stay open to attack and tons of errors. Have you tried using a VPN

Would a vpn help with Bluetooth?

It’s sad because I used to love apple products (chose MacBook over pc, iPhone over droid and windows phone). My brother used to be Apple support and lauded apple products. He’s going to get a galaxy s9.

This isn’t the first time an iOS update has messed my phone up.

What troubleshooting steps have you tried?

Reset Network settings is your best first step. It will reset the settings for all 3 radios. Cellular, Bluetooth and wifi.

If this does not help, I suggest restore to "factory" using iTunes and set up as a new device. Use the device for a short time to see if the behaviour stops. If so, do not restore your backup. If the issues stay, you have a hardware issue.

I’ve done everything. And why would the hardware just up and not function properly after ios11 update?
