Not sure if this has been asked or not, so if it has, feel free to direct me to the appropriate thread.

For the past few months or so, I've been having problems with my IPhone. Mainly what it is, is that all of the sudden when I would sit on my couch for example, I used to have perfect signal. Now, I can sit in the same place and it goes from 3 bars to 1 bar to LTE to 2 bars and just randomly fluctuates. I've had people at the Apple Store look at it and a couple of other technicians look at it and nobody can find anything wrong with the antennae. I've done the soft and hard resets and that didn't do anything either.

Not sure if this correlates or not but also around the same time, my battery will be fine and then all of the sudden just shut itself off when it says I still have a charge left. So I guess my question is is that all of this connected to a weak battery that needs to be replaced (sadly mine wasn't one of the ones that Apple would replace for free) or would it be a wiring issue or something else completely?

i honestly have no idea, but if my expensive phone was shutting off, id be pitching a fit for a new one.

Cant you go to your phone carrier>? why go direcrly to apple............

Also mine fluctuates at times. If they change a cellular setting on the towers near you it COULD explain it
