With the 2023 models, the feature gap between the iPhone and iPhone Pro might expand. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will include a WiFi 6E connection, according to a leaked antenna design sheet acquired by MacRumors, although its less expensive siblings will not. The paper, a schematic showing the antenna design of the iPhone 15 series, suggests that the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will continue to employ the outdated WiFi 6 standard.
WiFi 6E connection is available on several of Apple’s most current products, including the newly announced M2 models of the Mac mini, MacBook Pro, and iPad Pro. However, the technology has yet to be widely deployed. If your device can connect to a WiFi 6E router, the standard offers higher connection rates and reduced latency than WiFi 6. Given that most households and businesses use older WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 routers, the probable absence of WiFi 6E from the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus is unlikely to affect most users.
According to MacRumors, Apple has not previously limited the availability of new WiFi protocols to iPhone Pro models. Unless you were interested in photography, the differences between the Pro and basic versions were very insignificant prior to the iPhone 14 range. Last year, however, only the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max were equipped with Apple’s new A16 Bionic CPU, Dynamic Island cutout, and ProMotion display. It seems that the corporation is now attempting to find even more methods to distinguish its Pro models from its more popular ones. According to previous sources, other features that might be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max include Apple’s future A16 processor, a titanium frame, and extra RAM for multitasking. The handsets may also have solid-state volume and power buttons.
