I have a 4S and mine has been fine so far but i have read loads and loads of threads / topics about this and apple will replace under warranty if you have one.
iOS 6 is frying the wifi boards on some phones but it appears to be random.

I'd suggest a restore to see if that fixes it, if not take it to Apple
It's not bullshit and has been reported all over the place if you cared to google....
If your phone does not work and it's new, Apple will replace it, simple.
A google will suggest its not fishy and has been around since early iOS6 versions. Again like i said in another thread, just because YOU haven't had an issue, doesn't mean others wont.
I had the issue on my old ipad 2 and luckily it was in warranty and it was swapped.
Apple will also only replace it if its under warranty. They like to sweep this issue under the carpet. Again a google will show this.
This thread is fishy.
I do not doubt for one minute some people have problems with their wifi with any phone, but unless it's a problem in a massive scale, this thread and the way it's worded is simply stupid.
The first time i bough an Ipad it did not work, right at the store while we were setting up. But since then I bought several Ipads for myself and the company i work for, and they all worked brilliantly. What does this mean?
Simply that's the way it is with technology of any kind.
I'm not a huge fan of the iPhone, probably due to my 4S being a works phone .... but its been through the update from 5.whatever through to 6.1.3 and .... its fine.
And even if it is happening to "thousands of users", that - as a percentage of the numbers sold - is pretty insignificant. Just what you'd count as normal failure rates.
