Looks like Apple iPhone 15 users just can’t catch a break. First, the overheating issue. Then, the speaker issue. Now, another issue happens because of the new iOS 17.0.3 update. iPhone 15 users complained their Wi-Fi is significantly slower after the latest update.

According to 9to5Mac, some readers complained that they have been experiencing slower Wi-Fi connection since upgrading to the iPhone 15 lineups or iOS 17. For instance, reader David Chen says apps are unable to load content, or the connection feels super slow.

In addition, app developer Willian Max noticed an uncommon slowness when his iPhone 15 Pro Max was connected to the Wi-Fi. Sometimes, the iPhone stops loading content in apps such as Safari, TikTok and X. The issue might resolve itself after a few minutes, but sometimes, you might have to manually re-connect to your Wi-Fi to solve this problem.

Moreover, an iPhone 15 Pro user on X also expresses his dissatisfaction over the problem. After a quick net search, it seems that a lot of iPhone 15 owners are facing this problem too. Notably, a Redditor claims that adjusting the Wi-Fi channel range to 20 MHz, 40 MHz, or 80 MHz solved the tech problems.

We have yet to confirm other details on this issue nor how it could affect iPhone 15 owners in Malaysia. Apple has yet to issue an official statement, but we could expect the company to act soon.
