Wifi issue with iPhone 6?

Has anyone else experienced issues with the wifi on the iPhone 6? I don't know if it is the iPhone 6 or the iOS 8.

 

The wifi randomly goes off and can't find a signal.  I put it on airplane mode and off again and still nothing - even when it is next to the router.  The only thing that resolves the issue is to reset the phone, although it is just a temporary measure and it happens agin 1 or 2 days later.

So here's an update.

I went to the Apple store.

I explained the problem, I also mentioned the issue of my phone cutting off during some calls.

I was told that a diagnostics needs to be done so I had to connect to the Apple wifi.

It took a few minutes for my phone to even locate the Apple wifi and more time to connect to it.  I was told this was a bit odd.

When the diagnotics was run it showed that the wifi was normal, but I was told that should be expected for a new phone.  I don't know why the wifi issue was not detected. They saw the issue with finding and connecting to wifi but as it doesn't show in the diagnostics nothing could be done.  The diagnostics also showed that there was an issue with the springboard and that a few calls have been dropped.

I was told that it may be a software issue.  I was advised to restore it.  I said I had to restore it the day I got it due to an issue with the wifi.  I was told to restore it to a new phone and lose all of my pictures.  I was not happy as I have 2000+ pictures. 

I was told I had to restore it and wait 2 weeks for the logs to collect.

I'm not happy with their suggestion as I know the wifi will go off again.  So I guess I just have to wait 2 weeks.

Hi Gemma

I appreciate your frustration and I'm a little disappointed that they didn't swap it out but as long as you follow their requests and it does not remedy the situation then they would really have to swap it out.

Disappointing if I'm honest given that it's not just the one problem. Maybe the next update release will help...

It could be an iOS problem as I had a few occasions where my iPad wouldn't connect to WiFi. Had to manually connect to wifi.
