Burnt wrist and greyed wifi after trying to update

[VersaWen]

Has this happened to anyone else???

After trying to update my Versa, my iPhone wifi stopped working. Completely.  No wifi at all.  They called it “greyed out”.  I HAD TO BUY A NEW PHONE.  

 Then my wrist kept getting hot and my watch became uncomfortable at times.  I woke up one day with a burnt wrist! I have a big red burn mark now and I’m sure it will scar.  😞

What the heck Fitbit!!??

I am having the same issue with a burn on my wrist. I contacted customer service. Waiting for a response 😕

It is not a burn. It is build up fungus & bacteria under the strap that is irritating your skin. Wash strap & your wrist in anti bacterial soap. There is a IOS 13,0 update release. I'm an IOS user. Zero issues at all for me. Did you take device to Apple specialist for them to investigate before buying a replacement? Apple, even if out of warranty, will assist you to full remedy.

I think the user mentioning that the device was getting hot/uncomfortable indicates that this isn't related to fungus. I would say it sounds more reminiscent of a faulty lithium Ion cell. The only ones that can deal with this though are customer support.

I agree with @GrubbyDuck here, you should contact Apple as it sounds as though your iPhone is/was faulty. I can't think of any situation were an external device would fry a phones WiFi chip. In fact the Versa doesn't even connect to the phone via WiFi, it uses Bluetooth.
