iPhone 16 Pro vs iPhone 15 Pro: This could be the most underrated ...
There's a ton of intriguing iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max rumors floating around as we inch closer to Apple's usual big September event. And I recently recapped the 7 biggest iPhone 16 Pro Max rumored upgrades to help make sense of all the leaks. But there's one new feature in particular that has me excited for this new flagship.
Exciting New Features
Apple potentially giving both new iPhone Pros larger displays (6.3 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 16 Pro Max) will likely grab a bunch of headlines, as will the rumored new Capture button. Apple will also probably make a huge deal out of its new AI features, some of which will come alongside iOS 18 and some that may be exclusive to the hardware.
Wi-Fi 7: The Game Changer
The jump from Wi-Fi 6E on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to Wi-Fi 7 could be a much bigger deal than you might think. Wi-Fi 7 devices are able to send and receive data over three bands at once: 2.4GHz, 5GHz and 6GHz, promising faster Wi-Fi speeds and a lot more compared to Wi-Fi 6E.
Benefits of Wi-Fi 7
As our testing has shown, the best Wi-Fi 7 routers are very impressive in terms of speed and performance. With wider channels and Multi-Link Operation, Wi-Fi 7 offers increased throughput, less latency, and more bandwidth available to your devices.
Availability and Pricing
Wi-Fi 7 technology is still relatively new, making routers that support the standard quite pricey. For example, the Netgear Orbi RBE973 can reach a max speed of up to 46 Gbps but comes at a higher cost compared to Wi-Fi 6E routers.
Despite the price tag, the future-proof nature of Wi-Fi 7 makes it a worthwhile investment, especially as more devices start supporting the latest wireless standard.
Conclusion
As we look forward to the release of the iPhone 16 Pro series, the inclusion of Wi-Fi 7 could have a significant impact on how we experience connectivity and speed in the coming years. It's essential to stay updated on the latest rumors and leaks surrounding the iPhone 16 Pro to see how Apple continues to innovate in this space.
