The issue has also been affecting CarPlay connections in vehicles that use a Wi-Fi connection. So far, affected iPhone 17 users have been chiming in on several different forums, including the Apple Support Community."

Some iPhone 17 owners report that Wi‑Fi briefly cuts out and then reconnects after the phone is unlocked. The issue has affected iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air models and has also disrupted CarPlay connections that use Wi‑Fi. Users have described possible contributing factors including wearing an Apple Watch and using a VPN, though those factors are not confirmed as root causes. The scale of the problem remains unclear but appears limited to the iPhone 17 lineup. Apple switched from a Qualcomm modem to its in‑house C1X modem for iPhone 17, which may be implicated.
