However, up to this day, there is still no response from Apple or Verizon with regards to this problem and users are still manually setting up their clocks.

Many other users also responded to this problem saying that Apple can solve the problem with a brief restore. However, another user mentioned that he needs to reload the iOS 6 just to solve this matter. Despite the quick-fix response of users coming from the team of Apple, many still find a lot of hiccups to the Wi-Fi feature of the latest iPhone model.

3. Issues with the Reception

During the initial day of launching, many people or users have already complained about the reception when the phone is shifted from 3G to LTE. This includes Canadian-based iPhone users who are not using Verizon’s network. One user even described the phone as horrific especially when you are not sitting right next to a cell tower.
