JAKARTA - A number of iPhone 17 users reported a sudden decoupled Wi-Fi connection problem. This report appears in Apple's support forum, where some users complain that Wi-Fi on their devices is intermittently disconnected.
Although the Wi-Fi problem can indeed occur in various iPhone models, this report seems to be specifically experienced by iPhone 17 series users. The number of cases is not known for sure, but it is said that only a small number of users have experienced it.
Reports that appear are quite diverse and confusing, but the common thread is Wi-Fi even sometimes Bluetooth is cut off when the iPhone is locked or open. In many cases, the connection recovered a few seconds later.

Like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chips reset every time they unlock the iPhone, wrote a user on Reddit. He added that this condition makes AirPlay unusable. Several other users also admitted that they could not use wireless CarPlay due to the problem.
Apple Watch Allegedly Involved
In addition to the open-close factor of the iPhone screen, a number of users associate this problem with Apple Watch. They report that the glitch only appears when wearing the Apple Watch is locked. If the clock is removed or locked, the problem doesn't happen.
No specific Apple Watch model is confirmed to be the cause. According to a report that was first highlighted by MacRumors, most of the complaints came from iPhone 17 users, but there were also similar reports from iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max owners.
Until now, Apple has not made official comments regarding this issue. Some users claimed to have reported it and were notified that their case was being forwarded to Apple's technical team.
Since this problem does not happen to all iPhone 17 users with Apple Watch, most likely the cause is not on hardware. Many expect Apple to release software updates to address it, such as when the company briefly released iOS 26 shortly before the iPhone 17 was launched.
