iPhone Xs wifi slow (half the speed of iPhone8)

If the wifi is so bad that you can’t even watch full HD video and your day to day uses are too slow then refund the phone

But if you can handle just a slower connection then keep the phone and just keep checking if their is an update

That would be my op

The WiFi seems to get slow overtime and eventually stops working. I turn off my WiFi and back on and it crawls. I hard reset my phone and it went back to normal. This is like the 3rd time I’ve had to do it in a week. Running iOS 12.0.1

Same here. My WiFi speed seems to cap at 5mb/s, my SO also have a XS Max but haven’t updated it to 12.0.1 and that phone is doing 144mb/s at the moment. Usually when this happens I can just normally restart the iPhone normally and it works for a couple of days, but today it’s just gone downhill. I’ve restarted it like three or four times and it’s still stuck on slow speeds. I didn’t notice this issue before 12.0.1, maybe it was there but it wasn’t noticeable as I have a fast connection to start with 🏻♂

Speed tests are not the problem. I get super fast speed tests. It’s the loading of website that’s everyone is complaining about. People assume it’s juar weak WiFi. See the other threads on this. It’s a shame. I have an iPhone 6s right beside this ca that loads pages instantly where the XS doesn’t.

It works...thank you so much

This sounds like either a router issue or a problem with interference in your environment slowing down the connected speed over time.

Others have found that using Safari, they do not see the same issues, indicating it may well be a fault with those sites' apps.

Wow

I think I found the solution

All you need to do is

1. Make a backup on a computer

2. Factory reset

3. Set up the phone from that backup

4. It should work

This should work as I had the same isssue where my other devices were getting 50Mbps and my iPhone Xs max was only even sometimes getting between 12 to 0

And now I’m getting almost 40

Which is an improvement but it is still not perfect

I hope this works for eve

same issue. tried my 6s and my wife 6s. both have consistent speeds throughout the house. if I walk 3 feet away from my router, speeds cut in half. LTE also *****.

if I don't hear anything from Apple in 1 week, returning this phone. switched from android last year. came to apple to get away from the problems with Android OEMs. I did not pay good money for this to be happening.

Note that you will usually get better throughput on a Mac than a phone because your Mac has a more powerful processor and interfaces designed for higher throughput.

In fact on a Mac the limiting factor is usually your Wi-Fi router; wired most Macs can achieve full gigabit speeds.

Oh, I’ve asked a similar question many times now as it’s annissue I have had since moving from 6+ to X - on my 2nd X in less then 12 months and same issue daily yet the 6+ which has a different antenna - still outperforms the X connectiv

Apple does not know what to do. Working with apple senior support and engineering and 5 times they have asked for logs and information. Now was told to go 24hrs off wifi completely. Regardless that is not the full issue. I am not their tester as I paid in full for this product. So far undecided if I am going to return the phone and walk away as support cannot even keep their story straight.

I did the update and now my WiFi is even worse.

All my other devices on WiFi work fine (mac,dell, iPhone7) and I can’t do much of anything unless I disconnect it and try to run off LTE/3G.

Very frustrating as I just dropped sprint and moved to Verizon. I really don’t want to go through the hassle of returning the phone.

Xfinity by Comcast, their Gigabit cable modem tier.

My WiFi router is an 802.11ac Apple Time Capsule, which admittedly maxes out at about 650 Mbps wired, so I just use it as a WiFi bridge and leave routing to a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4, which can route at Gigabit line speeds.

Brand new XS. I don't have this issue on my 6S that I still have.

Here's the issue. Wifi loading facebook or instagram videos (these are good sites to test on wifi) After a while, after a reboot, things are fast fast loading. After a few min and the rest of the day, if in WIFI in the XS facebook videos and instangram pages with lots of images and videos, LOAD SLOW, If I turn wifi off and use the network, it's INSTANT LOADING!

ANd ideas? Again, the iphone 6s is super fast on wifi, but the XS is not. Now, running a speed test in the xs shows same great speeds as the 6s does. BUt something is up with these phones as the wifi loading pages with images gets slower on wifi. Hope someone else can chime in....
