iPhone 16 Series Feature Wi-Fi 7 Support Across the Board, Offering Four Times Faster Speeds Than Wi-Fi 6

Following the widespread adoption of Wi-Fi 7 in Android phones, Apple has finally equipped all models in the iPhone 16 series with this technology. In contrast, the standard and Pro versions of the previous iPhone 15 series only supported Wi-Fi 6E.

Wi-Fi 7, formally known as IEEE 802.11be, is commonly referred to as "BE" on routers, similar to "AX" for Wi-Fi 6 and "AC" for Wi-Fi 5. This technology introduces several new features, including:

• Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Enables simultaneous connection to multiple frequency bands, such as 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz, for a more stable wireless connection.

• Multi-RU (Multi-User Resource Unit): Allows high-speed data transmission to multiple devices simultaneously, improving network efficiency.

• 320MHz Bandwidth: Supports wider bandwidth, further enhancing data transfer speeds.

• 4096-QAM Modulation: Employs higher-order modulation technology, increasing signal transmission efficiency.

These new features enable Wi-Fi 7 to achieve typical speeds of up to 30Gbps, with peak speeds exceeding 40Gbps. In comparison, Wi-Fi 6 has a peak speed of 9.6Gbps, while Wi-Fi 5 only reaches 3.5Gbps. This means Wi-Fi 7 offers speeds four times faster than Wi-Fi 6.

However, currently, the 6GHz frequency band, which significantly enhances speeds, is not yet supported by domestic Wi-Fi 7 networks in China. As a result, the Wi-Fi speed of the Chinese version of the iPhone 16 series does not fully unleash the potential of Wi-Fi 7, which is somewhat regrettable.

Despite this, Wi-Fi 7 support in the iPhone 16 series is still a significant advancement, providing users with faster speeds and a more stable wireless connection experience. With the improvement of domestic network infrastructure in the future, the potential of Wi-Fi 7 on iPhones will be further unlocked.
