Had anyone noticed connectivity issues since updating? My WiFi randomly disconnects/refuses to reconnect on my iPhone 16 Pro.

Also noticed I'm losing coverage when driving where I didn't before and when it comes back it gets stuck on 3G for ages. Coverage isn't amazing on some parts of my drive but always held 5G coverage before. My wife has an iPhone 15 on the same network and she had 5G coverage while my phone was showing No network.

16 Pro here too; the only WiFi issue I’ve seen is consistently slower WiFi download speeds compared to iOS 18.4 - going to assume it’s the rollback of the modem firmware in iOS 18.5 beta 1 (it’s an older version than what 18.4 includes) that should be addressed in iOS 28.5 beta 2.

Honestly I’m having same issues with 15 Pro Max and iOS 18.4.
Both in USA and Canada. ATT VZ TELUS and Bell.
There could be some carrier shenanigans going on recently.

Yeah, I also have reconnection issues. Sometimes it refuses to connect to a network no matter how close I am to a router.
My cell coverage is the same as before, but I did have quite a few dropped calls, but I didn't report it since this is not the most recent firmware, it's already been fixed I suppose, we're just not on it.

Yes. 15PM and speeds are definitely slower.
Figure we will see updates with beta 2 and things getting back to normal. 🤞🏼

16PM, T-Mobile; cannot connect to NordVPN with 5G, LTE, and some wifi (used to connect to work wifi, but now couldn’t, right after the update)
 
It may or may not be a result of 18.4, but I have noticed in the Apple Store app, the Automatic Update ON/OFF toggle is missing in the Automatic Downloads section of the app. Toggling iOS Automatic Updates back ON and then OFF again does not seem to affect the Apple Store setting. As anyone else observed this and has Apple hidden this feature somewhere else? This is on an iPhone 13.
 
You can no longer dismiss the low iCloud storage notification badge??? Used to be, you click OK and it went away for a time. There’s no longer an OK option 🤬
