FULL STORY
======================================================================

The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are sure to be more powerful than 
their predecessors, but they might also support higher data speeds, if a 
recent leak is to be believed. 

According to a report in DigiTimes (via MacRumors ), the iPhone 16 Pro and 
iPhone 16 Pro Max will both support Wi-Fi 7, which would be an upgrade on the 
Wi-Fi 6E support of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max . 

Wi-Fi 7 can be dramatically faster than Wi-Fi 6E, with theoretical speeds of 
over 40Gbps  which is four times faster than what you can get with Wi-Fi 6E. 
And its not just faster, it also offers lower latency and greater 
reliability, for an all-round smoother experience, which should be especially 
beneficial for online gaming and downloading massive files. 

As ever, wed take this rumor with a pinch of salt, but this isnt the first 
weve heard of Wi-Fi 7 support , as back in October, Jeff Pu  an analyst with 
Haitong International Securities  made the same claim. Pu has a reasonable 
track record, and while that was very early for iPhone 16 leaks, hearing the 
same spec again now suggests that this tip might well be accurate. Just one

Of course, to make use of Wi-Fi 7, your phone also needs to be connected to a 
router that supports it, and most dont yet. On top of that, if youre not on a 
very high-speed internet plan, then you also wont be able to get the most out 
of it. 

So, for most people, the addition of Wi-Fi 7 will probably be more 
future-proofing the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max, rather than providing major 
benefits on day one, but it would still be a nice upgrade to have. 

Whether its an upgrade well get remains to be seen, but we should find out in 
September, as thats when the iPhone 16 line will most likely be unveiled. You
