Dear Apple Support Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to seek clarification on a specific aspect of Wi-Fi connectivity related to the iPhone 16 series running iOS 18.0. We have encountered an issue where the iPhone 16 series devices fail to connect to Wi-Fi networks, and this failure subsequently affects other devices running iOS 18.0.
To better understand the root cause of this issue, I would like to inquire about the differences in the "authentication and encryption" processes between the iPhone 16 series running iOS 18.0 and other devices running iOS 18.0. Specifically, are there any changes or updates in the Wi-Fi authentication and encryption mechanisms that are unique to the iPhone 16 series?
Understanding these differences will greatly assist us in diagnosing and resolving the connectivity issues we are experiencing.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your prompt response.
Best regards,
WJohn
You’re unlikely to find the answers you’re looking for here on DevForums. DevForums is primarily about helping developers with the APIs in Apple’s platform SDKs, and your question is about the implementation and on-the-wire behaviour of Apple’s networking stack.
You could try asking this question over in the Apple Support Community, run by Apple Support, and specifically in the Business and Education topic area, where you’re more likely to find folks with relevant experience.
Or, if you’re having a specific problem, you can file a bug about that. In that case, make sure to follow the Wi-Fi for iOS/iPadOS instructions on our Bug Reporting > Profiles and Logs page.
If you do file a bug, please post the bug number, just for the record.
Share and Enjoy
