Apple iPhone 15 Could Support Wi-Fi 6E Network: Report – Gizbot News

While the iPhone 15 is rumored to be launched in September 2023, rumor mills have started generating speculations about Apple’s upcoming smartphone. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes the iPhone 15 will adopt the Wi-Fi 6E standard.

Kuo’s report is similar to a research note shared by Barclays analysts Blaine Curtis and Tom O’Malley. However, there’s no word on whether this new feature will grace all upcoming iPhone 15 models or be limited to the Pro models.

Apple devices with Wi-Fi 6E connection

Wi-Fi 6E is currently supported by the new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models. In addition, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, as well as the Mac mini models have Wi-Fi 6E connectivity. None of the iPhone 14 models support Wi-Fi 6E and are not limited to Wi-Fi 6.

What is Wi-Fi 6E?

While Wi-Fi 6 and older Wi-Fi generations operate on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, the new Wi-Fi 6E can operate on the 6GHz band. Wi-Fi 6E offers several advantages including better performance, lower latency, faster connection and higher data rates. Moreover, it reduces network congestion thanks to more wireless channels.

iPhone 15: rumored features

According to reports, the iPhone 15 series will include the 6.1-inch iPhone 15, 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Ultra. We can expect the upcoming iPhone to be released in September 2023.

As far as the design is concerned, the iPhone 15 series may not see any major changes, and will likely retain the same design as before. Additionally, all iPhone 15 models are likely to get the new Dynamic Island Display. According to the rumours, the iPhone 15 Pro variants may feature a titanium frame instead of the existing stainless steel frame. The Pro models may feature solid-state power and volume buttons.

The base variants of the iPhone 15 feature the Apple A16 Bionic chipset. Meanwhile, the Pro variants get the new A17 Bionic processor. A major highlight of the upcoming iPhone 15 series will be the introduction of USB-C ports. Apple has to ditch its proprietary USB-C Lightning charging port to comply with the latest EU regulations. Another big improvement is the new 48MP periscope lens, which will be exclusive to the Pro variants.
