[QUOTE="LoydPeterson, post: 1951349, member: 424938"] Sometimes it comes down to how iOS prioritizes connections. If the Wi-Fi signal is weak or the latency is high, the phone might switch over to cellular (4G/5G) even if Wi-Fi is still technically available. That doesn’t necessarily mean there’s an issue with the antenna — iOS is just trying to keep you on the most stable connection. I’ve got an iPhone 14, and I’ve noticed the same thing at home. Sometimes it randomly jumps from Wi-Fi to 5G when I’m a bit farther from the router or there are a few walls in between. What’s weird is that other devices still hold the Wi-Fi just fine. I ended up switching my router to use the 2.4 GHz band instead of 5 GHz, and that actually helped — the signal stays more consistent now, even if the speed is a bit lower. [/QUOTE]
