Highlights

  • iPhone 17 and iPhone Air users report frequent Wi-Fi disconnections, laggy CarPlay, and sporadic Bluetooth drops.
  • The issue appears tied to Apple’s new N1 wireless chip but is believed to be software-related, not a hardware defect.
  • Improvements are already seen in iOS 26.1 beta and Apple is expected to release iOS 26.0.1 soon to address these bugs.

The rollout of Apple’s iPhone 17 series hasn’t been entirely smooth. It all started with the scratchgate headlines and then reports of cellular connectivity issues. Now, some users are complaining about Wi-Fi and Bluetooth bugs that are also impacting CarPlay performance. Here’s our full report on the latest trouble of new iPhone 17 users.

iPhone 17 – Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and CarPlay Bugs Surface

image

Caption – One of the Reddit posts on the issue.

On Reddit and Apple support forums, several iPhone 17 and iPhone Air owners have reported that their devices briefly disconnect and reconnect to Wi-Fi whenever the phone is unlocked or the Lock Screen is viewed. Since CarPlay depends heavily on Wi-Fi, users are also noticing laggy performance, skipped audio, and unstable connections while driving.

The complaints don’t stop at Wi-Fi. Some iPhone 17 users say they are also experiencing Bluetooth interruptions when using AirPods and other wireless accessories, with connections dropping sporadically.

One user posted, “This is the entire WiFi crashing.. doesn’t matter what network, or even if you’re connected to a network, it still drops. It’s just that if you’re not connected to a network you won’t notice the drop. But if you go into settings and reproduce the issue, you’ll see the WiFi goes to “off” for a second, then turns back on.”

Interestingly, a number of affected users point out that the issue seems to occur only when wearing an Apple Watch. It raises speculation that the bug might be tied to how devices interact within Apple’s ecosystem.

One Reddit user specifies, “I am experiencing the exact same issue when the watch is on my wrist and unlocked. It also affects wireless CarPlay. When the watch is on, and I unlock my iPhone, CarPlay will disconnect and reconnect. Makes sense because wireless CarPlay is also Wi-Fi based. I also have a Vision Pro and interestingly when I unlock that with my iPhone nearby it will also disconnect the Wi-Fi.”

The good news is that this appears to be a software-related issue rather than a hardware flaw in the new iPhones. All four iPhone 17 models ship with Apple’s new N1 wireless chip, but early indications suggest the problems can be fixed with software updates.

Some users testing iOS 26.1 beta have already reported better performance and fewer connectivity drops. Apple is also expected to push out iOS 26.0.1 soon, which should include bug fixes aimed at addressing these Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues.

One comment reads, “I updated only my iPhone to the 26.1 B1. It’s only been 20 minutes, but under the same circumstances that my WiFi and Bluetooth would turn off and on, it has not. This means that Apple, either intentionally or unintentionally, fixed the issue. This also means this is very likely a software issue that can be patched. I now also updated my watch to 26.1 B1. Still cannot reproduce the issue. Additionally, I use the “unlock with iPhone” feature. Everything held fine! Additionally, my AirPods are not dropping and Bluetooth has been fine.”

Until then, iPhone 17 and iPhone Air users facing these problems may need to wait for Apple’s official update to restore full stability.

FAQs

Q1. What connectivity problems are iPhone 17 and iPhone Air users facing?

Answer. Users are reporting frequent Wi-Fi disconnections, laggy CarPlay performance, and sporadic Bluetooth drops, especially when unlocking the phone or wearing an Apple Watch.

Q2. Are the connectivity issues in iPhone 17 caused by hardware or software?

Answer. The problem appears to be software-related. All iPhone 17 models use Apple’s new N1 wireless chip, but early signs suggest the bugs can be resolved through software updates.

Q3. When will Apple fix these connectivity bugs?

Answer. Apple is expected to release iOS 26.0.1 soon to address these issues. Some users testing iOS 26.1 beta have already noticed improved performance and fewer drops.

Highlights

  • iPhone 17 Pro teardown reveals more about the new vapour chamber cooling system under the A19 Pro chip.
  • The battery now sits in a screw-mounted tray, making future replacements cleaner and safer.
  • iFixit confirmed that the camera bump’s sharp edges are prone to scratches due to uneven anodization.
  • iFixit gave the device a 7/10 repairability score, noting Apple’s release of repair manuals and improved battery safety.

iFixit has published its teardown of the iPhone 17 Pro and revealed Apple’s latest internal design choices. It gives us an inside view of the new vapour chamber cooling system, changes in battery placement and details about durability concerns dubbed “scratchgate.” Here’s a quick rundown of the teardown.

iPhone 17 Pro – What The Teardown Reveals?

image

Inside the iPhone 17 Pro, the A19 Pro chip is placed directly below a vapour chamber cooling system that spreads heat across the aluminium unibody frame. Unlike traditional cooling solutions, this setup uses a lattice structure between two plates. Water near the chip heats up and vaporises into steam, which then condenses back into droplets on the cooler side, circulating through the lattice for efficient heat management.

iFixit compared the iPhone 17 Pro Max with the iPhone 16 Pro Max using a thermal camera. The older model reached 37.8°C and throttled under load, while the new 17 Pro Max stayed cooler at 34.8°C, maintaining performance without throttling.

The teardown also revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro’s battery is mounted inside a battery tray, secured to the frame with Torx Plus screws instead of adhesive. iFixit noted that if Apple sells replacement batteries pre-installed in trays, battery swaps could become far simpler and cleaner than before. The battery itself is encased in metal for added safety.

Scratchgate – Are iPhone 17 Pros More Prone to Damage?

Reports of scratches and scuffs on new iPhone 17 Pro models sparked a debate online. To investigate, iFixit ran scratch tests on the phone’s aluminium frame. Results showed that the camera plateau is particularly vulnerable to scratches with damage occurring most often on the sharp edges.

According to iFixit, this issue is linked to the anodization process. They concluded that “scratchgate is real, particularly on the sharp edge of [the] camera bump, which the anodising doesn’t adhere to as evenly as across the rest of the phone.”

image image image

To dive deeper, iFixit examined the scratched areas under a microscope and consulted David Niebuhr, a mechanical engineering professor at Cal Poly. Niebuhr explained that the type of damage is known as “spalling”, where the anodised finish fails to bond as strongly on flat, sharp edges, causing colour to wear off when rubbed against hard objects like keys.

Referring to the microscope images shown above, iFixit post says, “Faced with a pick the hardness of a penny, the iPhone 17 Pro’s anodised coating chips away, revealing shiny aluminium underneath.”

Repairability Changes Compared to iPhone 16 Pro

image

Apple has also modified the repair structure of the iPhone 17 Pro. Unlike the dual-entry design of the iPhone 16 Pro, repairs are now restricted. Back-glass replacement and wireless charging assembly fixes can only be done from the rear, while replacing parts like the battery, USB-C port, or camera module requires removing the display.

The new screw-mounted battery tray makes battery replacement easier once accessed, but replacing the USB-C port alone requires removing 22 screws, which iFixit described as a tedious process.

iFixit Repairability Score

Despite being slightly less repairable than the iPhone Air, Apple has taken some steps toward serviceability, such as releasing day-one repair manuals and refining battery safety. Overall, iFixit awarded the iPhone 17 Pro a repairability score of 7 out of 10.

You can watch the full iFixit teardown video for an in-depth look at the flagship iPhone below –

FAQs

Q1. What cooling system does the iPhone 17 Pro use?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro features a vapour chamber cooling system placed directly above the A19 Pro chip. It uses a lattice structure to circulate steam and droplets, efficiently spreading heat across the aluminium frame and reducing thermal throttling compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Q2. Has Apple made battery replacement easier in the iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. Yes. The battery is now housed in a screw-mounted tray secured with Torx Plus screws instead of adhesive. If Apple sells pre-installed battery trays, replacements could be cleaner and more user-friendly.

Q3. What is “scratchgate” and how does it affect the iPhone 17 Pro?

Answer. “Scratchgate” refers to the iPhone 17 Pro’s vulnerability to scratches, especially on the sharp edges of the camera bump. iFixit found that the anodised finish doesn’t adhere evenly to these areas, leading to damage known as “spalling” when rubbed against hard surfaces.

Q4. How repairable is the iPhone 17 Pro compared to previous models?

Answer. While battery access has improved, other repairs like USB-C port replacement require removing 22 screws. The phone lacks the dual-entry design of the iPhone 16 Pro, making some fixes more tedious. iFixit gave it a repairability score of 7 out of 10.

According to recent WABetaInfo’s report, the Meta-owned messaging platform is testing the feature in the WhatsApp Beta for Android version 2.25.27.1. WABetaInfo is a reliable source for WhatsApp updates.

The option appears in the notifications settings, alongside existing mute controls for group chats. Once enabled, it silences notifications specifically triggered by the @everyone mention, preventing users from being alerted every time someone tags the entire group.

Currently, the @everyone mention allows any group participant and not just admins to notify all members in the chat. While this is useful for announcements, it is often misused and can cause disruptions in large, active groups.

How the Mute @Everyone Feature Works?

With this new option, users will be able to mute @everyone notifications while still receiving alerts for direct mentions and regular messages. This ensures that important updates aren’t missed, while mass mentions no longer overwhelm the notification feed.

The feature will also include a manual toggle, giving users full control over when they want to activate or disable it, depending on their needs.

Availability of Mute @Everyone Feature on WhatsApp

At present, the feature is still under development and is not available to beta testers in the Google Play Beta program. However, reports indicate that WhatsApp could roll it out to testers in the coming weeks through a future app update.

FAQs

Q1. What is WhatsApp’s new Mute @everyone feature?

Answer. It’s a notification control that lets users silence alerts triggered by @everyone mentions in group chats, helping reduce spam and distractions.

Q2. Will I still receive other notifications if I mute @everyone?

Answer. Yes, you’ll continue to get alerts for direct mentions and regular messages, only mass @everyone notifications will be silenced.

Q3. When will the WhatsApp mute everyone feature be available?

Answer. It’s currently in development for Android Beta version 2.25.27.1 and expected to roll out to testers in the coming weeks.

Highlights

  • New Dating Assistant on Facebook Dating helps users refine profiles, suggest matches beyond basic filters, and offer dating tips.
  • A feature called Meet Cute delivers one algorithm-picked match per week to reduce swipe fatigue.
  • Facebook Dating sees 10% growth among young adults but still trails Tinder and Hinge.

Meta is expanding its push into artificial intelligence with a new AI assistant for Facebook Dating. It is aimed at making it easier for users to find matches that better reflect their preferences. The update comes alongside a new feature called Meet Cute, designed to reduce the fatigue of endless swiping.

AI Dating Assistant on Facebook Dating

Announced in a Meta blog, the new Dating Assistant acts as a chatbot within Facebook Dating, offering personalised guidance to users as they search for potential partners. It allows people to go beyond standard filters like height or education, enabling more specific and creative prompts.

For example, Meta suggests users could ask it to find “a Brooklyn girl in tech” or even request help in refining their dating profile.

Beyond matchmaking, the assistant can also recommend dating ideas and offer tips to improve user profiles. To access the tool, users can head to the Matches tab within Facebook Dating.

Meta confirmed that the feature will roll out gradually in the US and Canada.

Meet Cute for Facebook Dating

Meta is also launching Meet Cute, a feature that delivers users a weekly surprise match chosen through Facebook Dating’s personalised algorithm. This option is aimed at reducing indecision and “helping people avoid swipe fatigue.”

Users can choose to chat with their surprise match or unmatch to skip the conversation. At launch, Meet Cute will provide matches once per week, though Meta says it is exploring more frequent options in the future. Importantly, users can opt out of the feature at any time.

Facebook Dating’s Growth and Dating App Competition

In the announcement blog, Meta reports that Facebook Dating matches among adults aged 18 to 29 have grown 10% year-over-year. Hundreds of thousands of new profiles are created each month in this age group.

However, Facebook Dating still trails far behind competitors such as Tinder, which boasts around 50 million daily active users, while Hinge has about 10 million.

The integration of AI tools into dating apps has become increasingly common. Startups like Sitch are using AI to stand out, while major players are investing heavily. Match Group, the parent company of Tinder, Hinge, and OkCupid, partnered with OpenAI last year as part of a $20 million-plus investment in AI. Despite Match Group’s financial struggles, its stock price has fallen nearly 68% over the past five years. The company has already introduced AI-powered tools like a photo selector for Tinder and AI-assisted profile prompts for Hinge.

FAQs

Q1. What is the AI Dating Assistant on Facebook Dating?

Answer. It’s a chatbot that helps users refine their profiles, suggest matches based on creative prompts, and offer dating tips, available in the Matches tab.

Q2. What is the Meet Cute feature on Facebook Dating?

Answer. Meet Cute delivers one surprise match per week using Facebook Dating’s algorithm to reduce swipe fatigue. Users can chat or skip the match and opt out anytime.

Q3. Where is Facebook Dating’s new AI Dating Assistant available?

Answer. Meta is rolling it out gradually in the US and Canada, with broader availability expected later.

Xiaomi is gearing up to launch its next-generation flagship Xiaomi smartphones and the teasers have started surfacing.

The standard Xiaomi 17 is pictured in white and sky blue colours. Unlike the Pro models, it does not feature a secondary rear display. It rather adopts a new rounded-square camera island, replacing the sharper design of the Xiaomi 15.

The camera sensors now protrude slightly, resembling recent iPhone models, while the phone itself embraces more rounded edges for a softer overall look.

The Xiaomi 17 Pro is shown in Cold Smoke Purple, while the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max debuts in Forest Green. Both Pro variants ditch last year’s micro-quad curved panels in favor of completely flat displays, aligning their overall aesthetic with the base model.

On the back, the Pro and Pro Max integrate the Magic Back Screen directly into the camera module. Two of the camera lenses protrude slightly, while the third sits flush with the surface. Xiaomi says this extra display can be used for notifications, selfie previews, clocks, and more.

The images further confirm Xiaomi’s ongoing partnership with Leica for camera optimisation, a collaboration that continues to define its flagship devices.

Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro – Hands-On Video Leak

Adding to the buzz, a Xiaomi executive shared a hands-on video showing 12 devices lined up, offering the best look yet at the full set of colors.

From the video, the standard Xiaomi 17 appears in four shades, while the Pro and Pro Max are each available in three colors. Xiaomi has yet to reveal the official colour names, but based on past launches, we can expect a mix of timeless finishes and possibly some special edition models later on.

Xiaomi 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro – Specs (Revealed)

Xiaomi has also confirmed that the Xiaomi 17 will feature a 6.3-inch flat display with ultra-slim 1.18mm bezels and a 19.6:9 aspect ratio. Weighing in at just 191 grams, the phone is designed to feel lightweight and comfortable in daily use.

All models in the series will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which promises improved performance and AI capabilities.

Additional details such as battery specifications, HyperOS 3 software features, and global release plans are expected to be revealed at the launch event.

Xiaomi 17 Series Launch Timeline

The upcoming lineup includes the Xiaomi 17, Xiaomi 17 Pro, and Xiaomi 17 Pro Max, all set to debut on September 25. This is earlier than last year’s Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro launch, which happened in late October. The shift suggests that Xiaomi wants to secure an early advantage in what promises to be a competitive flagship season.

Interestingly, the company is skipping the “16” branding altogether, moving straight from the 15 to the 17 series, likely to keep in step with Apple’s iPhone 17 naming.

Global Availability Unclear

As of now, Xiaomi hasn’t confirmed its international rollout strategy. It remains uncertain whether all three models will launch globally, or which markets will get them first.

Still, with the official reveal just days away, fans now have a comprehensive idea of what to expect, showing that Xiaomi is focusing as much on design innovation as it is on powerful hardware this year.

FAQs

Answer. The Xiaomi 17 features a rounded-square camera island and softer edges, while the 17 Pro and Pro Max adopt flat displays and integrate a Magic Back Screen into the camera module.

Answer. The series is set to launch on September 25, 2025. Xiaomi is skipping the “16” branding to align with Apple’s iPhone 17 naming and gain an early market edge.
