A customer complains that their iPhone's Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. They have already rebooted the phone and the router. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Trap 1: The phone's SIM card is faulty.

A faulty SIM card affects cellular service, not Wi-Fi connectivity.

Trap 2: The Wi-Fi network password was changed recently.

While a changed password can cause disconnection, the symptom of repeated disconnects suggests a different issue, as the phone would simply fail to connect.

Trap 3: The phone's operating system needs a full restore via iTunes.

A full restore is excessive for a Wi-Fi issue; simpler steps like forgetting the network should be attempted first.
