According to a report by DigiTimes, the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are “widely expected” to support WiFi 7.
WiFi 7 will have a speed up to 40 GB/s, a significant improvement over the current WiFi 6 standard. It also offers reduced latency and increased capacity, making it ideal for online gaming, streaming, and AR/VR applications.
Wi-Fi 7 utilizes three frequency bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz) with wider channels (320 MHz) and better modulation techniques (4096-QAM) to achieve these speeds.
- Speeds up to 40 Gbit/s: 4.8x faster than WiFi 6.
- Reduced latency: This will enhance the speed of online gaming and AR/VR applications, resulting in better responsiveness.
- Increased capacity will allow more devices to connect to the network without impacting performance.
- Improved security: It includes new security features that will make it more difficult for hackers to steal data.
Here is the difference between WiFi 5, 6 and 7
iPhone 15 Pro models gained support for WiFi 6E, while all iPhone 11 through iPhone 14 models support standard WiFi 6.
