iOS 11.4 - Wi-Fi and Bluetooth no longer function

Just updated my iPhone 6 to iOS 11.4 and now my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are perpetually off. When I go into the settings it will no show both as off and the slider cannot be moved to the on position. When I swipe up for the control I can turn on bluetooth (which does not stay on) and Wi-Fi shows as off and cannot be turned on.


I've searched for fixes (including resetting network settings, restarting the device) and still the above issue persists. Is there a possible fix or is time to retire this iPhone 6?

iPhone 6, iOS 11.4

Restore iOS using iTunes. First try restoring your backup; if that does not resolve the problem restore again and set it up as New. And if that doesn't fix it, take it to Apple: Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

Did a full wipe and reset thru iTunes. Didn’t fix it. Turned off Bluetooth and Cellular but left Wi-Fi on. That seemed to do the trick. Restored from my backup in iCloud and for the past 3 days, no issues. But I haven’t turned cellular or Bluetooth back on. So this seems to point to an issue with the radio code at least on the iPhone 6. I assume the Wi-Fi radio is a different part an/or uses different code. Wish Apple would do a better job of testing and be more responsive to fixing. I’m not a fan of Android but I’m giving Android phones a look. I can’t afford to have my phone go inoperative every time a new iOS is released.
