GPS isn’t working on iPhone 13 iOS 18.6.2

Ever since I updated my device to iOS 18 I’ve been having several problems the most frustrating one being the GPS. The GPS and my location doesn’t work on any app. I’ve tried restarting the phone, resetting all the settings, deleting the apps and redownloading and restoring the phone with no luck. I’ve also tried checking my location settings. Maps (Waze, Apple and Google Maps) are still inaccurate and not working. They either show that GPS is not working or on other apps the arrow is pointing the other way or it’s off to the side not moving when I’m driving

Joper ~ Your iPhone 13 could be 4 years old and the long process of applying an iOS update to an iPhone with a weak, aging battery can be the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." And a failing battery can cause connectivity issues (including GPS.) So...


Does your iPhone 13 still have its original battery?


And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...
