new standard Wi-Fi 7 is now real. This week, the international Wi-Fi Alliance consortium confirmed the launch of next-generation Wi-Fi, and the association’s president and CEO, Kevin Robinson, said: Users will experience faster speeds, improved efficiency and greater reliability It expands the horizons of what’s possible over Wi-Fi. This confirms one of the most interesting rumors about the iPhone 16.

As reported by Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu a few months ago, iPhone 16 Pro models will include Wi-Fi 7 and a faster 5G modemThe iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus versions will have the Wi-Fi 6E chip and there will be no improvements to the 5G modem.

iPhone 16 Pro may have Wi-Fi 7 support

If the arrival of an iPhone 16 Pro with Wi-Fi 7 is confirmed, it will be a significant improvement over the current standard. While the maximum transfer rate of Wi-Fi 6E is around 9 Gbps, Wi-Fi 7 has speeds of up to 46 Gbps. This is five times faster than current generation Wi-Fi.

While the current Wi-Fi 6E standard is essentially Wi-Fi 6 with 6 GHz band support, Wi-Fi 7 comes with more significant improvements. While the maximum transfer rate of Wi-Fi 6E is around 9 Gbps, Wi-Fi 7 can reach speeds of up to 46 Gbps. This It is five times faster than current generation Wi-Fi.

Moreover, Another advantage is the reduction of interference and signal congestion.. With Wi-Fi 7, devices can send and receive data simultaneously over multiple connections on different frequencies; This helps achieve higher transfer speeds and less latency.

After the announcement, it will take some time for Wi-Fi 7 to become widespread because the first routers compatible with the new standard have just been announced. But according to the Wi-Fi Alliance’s expectations, More than 233 million devices are expected to enter the market by 2024It will reach 2.1 billion devices by 2028. Smartphones, PCs, tablets and access points (APs) will be first in line.

Virtual and augmented reality (AR/VR) equipment and spatial computing, such as Vision Pro in Apple’s case, will continue to gain ground in the market.

What was already a great year for Apple to deliver innovative devices continues to improve. With this announcement;iPhone 16 Pro continues to confirm it will have more news than initially suggestedIn fact, it was thought to be very small compared to the iPhone 15.
