After updating to the latest version of minecraft on my iPhone 6s. I can no longer connect to realms over wifi.
I updated to version 1.2.0
Today before I updated it would take about two minutes before before minecraft would attempt to fetch realms. During that time the screen would say "We could not connect to realms right now. We will try again soon." After that it would say fetching realms and then my realm would appear.
After updating when I try to load realms I get the same message, "We could not connect to realms right now we will try again soon." But no matter how long I wait it never begins fetching realms.
When I turn off wifi I can load my realm using cellular data.
I also have an iPad Air 2 that used to be able to load realms before the update. Since the update it can't connect to realms anymore. But it can see the featured servers and join them.
I also have a windows 10 computer that is running minecraft version 1.2.0 and it can connect to realms over wifi just fine. It starts fetching realms right away. No wait.

I also have this issue.
I can connect on Windows 10 machines on WiFi to Realms.
I can not connect to Realms on WiFi on iOS (family has several iOS devices, none work). I have previously been able to connect to Realms.
I can connect to Realms on cellular, and at work on WiFi, so it's definitely some issue with my router/modem/ISP, as I've tried with another cable modem (different location that has same router and overall ISP, but different modem)
I have a NETGEAR Orbi router.
I'm assuming it's some NAT issue at the ISP/Router level. Things that don't work on iOS
Achievements page remains empty/blank
Realms doesn't even attempt to connect, simply says "Cannot connect to Realms right now.", for both owner of Realm or invitee
I tried using the direct invite links, but that didn't work either
iOS is able to sign in to XBox live
iOS is able to join games on LAN
This is still unresolved in 1.2.6
I still CANNOT connect from iOS device on 1.2.6, but I CAN from a Windows 10 device on the same wifi network, what is the difference in the network protocol that I am running into?
Same problem here, can connect from wired xbox and laptop (wifi) , but cannot connect from iphone (same wifi as win 10 laptop).
Rob, Thanks so much for commenting on this issue. This doesn't make sense to me though that the blocking is at an ISP level. As presumably, windows 10 client and/or Xbox client would have to connect to AWS as well.
So why would they succeed where the mobile client fails, unless there is some port/protocol difference in the two clients.
1.2.13 still can't connect on iOS on WiFi, but Windows 10 can on same WiFi
Slightly different visual behavior.
Achievements just displays "Fetching Achievements with animated wave"
Clicking "Play" displays an empty dark gray box with no text where realms worlds would normally be listed.

Now playing version 1.2.1
I was able to load realms at Burger King today using their wifi on my iPhone 6s
But I still can't load it on my iPhone 6s on my home wifi.
But it works great on my windows 10 computer over my home wifi.
I ran a speed test on my iphone6s over my home wifi connection. I got download speed of 114.97Mbps. Upload speed of 3.45Mbps. And Ping of 57ms
I also ran a speed test on my windows computer from speedtest.net. I got download speed 13.75Mbps. Upload speed 3.07Mbps and Ping 64ms
Why is the windows version able to load realms over this wifi on the slower connection but the IPhone 6s and Ipad Air 2 can't?
Before update 1.2.0 both phone and tablet could load realms it just took a while.
I am using a Linksys E4200 Router.
And an Arris Surfboard SB6121 Modem.
And cableone internet.
