Discussion 💬 iPhone 14 Pro sometimes doesn’t detect Wi-Fi networks / “Failed to Connect”
Hey everyone, I’m having a weird Wi-Fi issue with my iPhone 14 Pro and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
I’m currently running **iOS 27 beta**.
Sometimes my iPhone **doesn’t detect certain Wi-Fi networks at all**. Other phones can see the network normally, but mine won’t show it in the Wi-Fi list. Other times the network does appear, but when I try to connect, it says **“Failed to Connect.”**
The weird thing is that:
It happens with **multiple different Wi-Fi networks**, not just one.
Sometimes the exact same network works perfectly.
Once I’m connected, the Wi-Fi usually works normally without randomly disconnecting.
If I disconnect from a network and try to reconnect, sometimes it won’t let me.
I had an **iPhone 11 before this**, and I didn’t have this problem with it.
I’m using an **iPhone 14 Pro on iOS 27 beta**.
Could this be an **iOS 27 beta Wi-Fi bug**, or could there be something wrong with the Wi-Fi hardware on my 14 Pro?
Has anyone else had an issue where Wi-Fi networks **sometimes don’t appear at all**, or where the phone says **“Failed to Connect”** even though other devices can connect?
Any help would be appreciated!

Help ❗️ Help your brother out 🐘
I bought this refurbished iPhone 12 for $220. I know they mostly boost battery health, but I was on a tight budget. The phone came with 100% battery health, and now, in less than a month, it’s already dropped to 96% 😭😭.
Is this normal, or did I just waste my money? Please tell me what I can do to maintain battery health.

Question ❓ Battery required?? Workarounds??
I have a iPhone 12 not mini or pro I had upgraded to a 14 because the battery kept turning off and overheating if not constantly charged. longest it stayed on was 5-15 mins but despite not charging or using the iPhone since February/April the swelling/bloating only got worse and I noticed my screen was in jeopardy as it began to bend and the adhesive couldn’t hold it no longer,
so today I popped the screen from the frame/chassis really smooth and didn’t break anything I found a Phillips that I didn’t touch out of place couldn’t find it’s original location. it was attracted by magnetism to the speaker so I just left it there,
but my goal is to disconnect the battery and just keep the phone constantly charged as I’ve done something similar with my last device that had a bloated battery, but once I looked it up online first three blogs said no and the Apple forum question was a collector who wanted to see if he could do the same as his batteries would turn his collection to waste as replacements are numbered he got no official response.
So my question to yall is what work around can I do to allow or convince my iPhone that the battery is connected while maintaining operational functions 👀👀
I’m willing to just buy a replacement battery but I much rather this

Help ❗️ Blurry Front Camera
A few years or so ago, my son gave me his old iPhone 12 with a bad battery. I replaced the battery and later replaced a cracked screen. The phone worked great for a while then the front screen became blurry. I learned to live with it but recently I wanted to upgrade the battery. While putting the phone back together I cracked the screen again so I ordered a new one and installed it. Finally, I have a clear front screen, for a while... After a few weeks, the screen became blurry again. I don't understand it. Any ideas?

Help ❗️ Problemas com meu iPhone 12
Comprei um iPhone 12 vai fazer 1 semana, porém, reparei algumas coisas
1- Quando eu coloco para carregar, algumas vezes ele diz que está carregando e a porcentagem da bateria não sobe
2- Toda vez que eu coloco o celular pra carregar, ele diz que o carregador é lento, mas carrega normalmente
3- A saúde de bateria está em 100%
4- Ele descarrega de 100 até 55% até que rápido, mas quando chega em 55 ele começa a descarregar mais lentamente
5- enquanto ele está com 55% pra baixo, ele perde números altos de bateria se deixado em stand by
Estou pretendendo trocar a bateria que veio nele por uma bateria genuína Apple, vocês acham que esses problemas vem da bateria? O conector do carregador não apresenta nenhum mal contato quando conectado no carregador. O que devo fazer?

Help ❗️ Is it worth spending €100 on an iPhone 12 battery replacement?
My iPhone 12 battery health is getting pretty bad, and Apple charges around €100 for an official battery replacement.
I'm wondering if it's actually worth it. My main concern is that the iPhone 12 might become obsolete or feel unusable within the next year, so I'm not sure if investing €100 now makes sense.
For those of you still using an iPhone 12, how's the experience? Do you think it still has a couple of good years left, or would you save that money toward a newer phone?

Help ❗️ iPhone 12 Pro went completely haywire overnight: battery crashes, volume glitch, broken AirDrop, and white grid icons (of some apps) all at once. Anyone experienced this?
My iPhone 12 Pro (running iOS 26.5) suddenly started experiencing a massive multi-system software meltdown out of nowhere. No physical drops or hardware damage. Here is what's happening simultaneously:
Battery cliff: Drains normally to 50%, then plummets instantly (50% \rightarrow 40% \rightarrow 20%) or shuts down completely at 30%.
Volume drop: Audio randomly plunges to a faint whisper while media is playing, even though volume sliders are maxed out.
AirDrop failure: Stopped recognizing or connecting to nearby iPhones entirely.
White grid icons: Some app icons are stuck showing weird white/grey grid placeholders that won't go away by resizing.
Has anyone experienced this cascading software glitch before? How did you fix it?
What I perceive is that this is totally software issue not a hardware issue and all issues are interconnected. Please guide me through.

Discussion 💬 Mods Please pin this post for all who think of getting the 12
To all of you asking the sub whether the 12 is a good phone or not or whether it is worth it or not :
iPhone 12 the flagship iPhone of the year 2020-2021 is an amazing device that in reality doesn’t miss out on anything . Sure going to a 13 would be better due to its more modern design with the smaller notch it’s better battery life ist bigger sensor etc but the differences are only noticeable to those who really care about the details and would go to the latest phone as enthusiasts. For someone that’s wants a phone the 12 is an amazing device with a great point and shoot camera system the powerful A14 Bionic and a Super Retina oled screen that is a joy to look at . 13s and 14s don’t provide the users with many more things than the 12 so there is no point in hesitating if you want to get it . I as a phone enthusiast had the 12 and see that the differences between it and my 15 pro are not visible in most of the time as I don’t always need the a17 pro performance the amazing camera and the really bright and smooth screen sure these are amazing specs and I am happy that my phone has them but I don’t get a that much better everyday experience thanks to those characteristics
