iPhone 15 Pro Models Support Wi-Fi 6E

The iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max are the first iPhones to support next-generation Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, with the standard iPhone 15 models continuing to be limited to Wi-Fi 6.

With Wi-Fi 6E support, the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max can connect to the 6GHz band offered by Wi-Fi 6E routers for faster speeds, improved latency, and less interference from other devices.

Connecting to Wi-Fi 6E does require a Wi-Fi 6E router, but there are multiple options on the market now. There are still a limited number of devices that have Wi-Fi 6E support, so for now, the 6GHz band has a lot less congestion.

Apple has been adding Wi-Fi 6E support to its devices since 2022. It is available in the latest iPad Pro models, the 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro, the Mac mini, the Mac Studio, and the Mac Pro machines.

Upgraded connectivity is always nice to have.

It just occurred to me that Apple went out of their way to say "second generation Ultra Wideband chip" to avoid saying U2.

I predict the standard iPhone 16 will support Wi-Fi 6E while the iPhone 16 Pro will support WiFi 7. You heard it here first.

It would’ve have been nice if they included a WiFi 6E router.

The most funny part is that The WiFi 6E is worth an article. Surely because there isn’t much to talk about in terms of upgrades and innovation.

Would have been nice had they included Wi-Fi 7 instead since that's now available but they're still just now rolling out 6E to the rest of their product lineup.
