iPhone 15 Pro Expected to Feature Wi-Fi 6E: Here's What That Means

Apple plans to add Wi-Fi 6E support to some of its latest iPhones, according to a research note today from Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Tom O'Malley. Wi-Fi 6E is rumored to be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (https://www.macrumors.com/2023/01/27/wifi-6e-iphone-15-pro-models/), as the standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus are expected to stick with regular Wi-Fi 6.

Wi-Fi 6E will allow for faster and more reliable wireless connectivity on iPhone 15 Pro models. Below, we have shared more details about the standard.



<h2>What is Wi-Fi 6E?</h2>

Wi-Fi 6 operates on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, while Wi-Fi 6E also works over the 6GHz band for increased bandwidth. Wi-Fi 6E offers faster wireless speeds, lower latency, and less signal interference, so long as a supported device is connected to a Wi-Fi 6E router, which are available from brands like TP-Link, Asus, and Netgear.



Apple has a support document (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213433) with some additional details about Wi-Fi 6E.



<h2>Apple Devices With Wi-Fi 6E</h2>

Apple has already added Wi-Fi 6E to a handful of iPad Pro and Mac models since last year:

<ul><li>11-inch iPad Pro (2022)</li>

<li>12.9-inch iPad Pro (2022)</li>

<li>14-inch MacBook Pro (2023)</li>

<li>16-inch MacBook Pro (2023)</li>

<li>Mac mini (2023)</li>

<li>Mac Studio (2023)</li>

<li>Mac Pro (2023)</li></ul>The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max would be the first iPhones with Wi-Fi 6E support, as the iPhone 14 lineup is limited to regular Wi-Fi 6.<div class="linkback">Related Roundup: iPhone 15 Pro (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/iphone-15-pro/)</div><div class="linkback">Tags: Barclays (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/barclays/), Wi-Fi 6E (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/wi-fi-6e/)</div>
