The brand has added Wi-Fi 6E support to a handful of devices so far.
According to a research note shared by Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Tom O’Malley, the iPhone 15 will include Wi-Fi 6E.
The Cupertino-based tech giant is aggressively working on the Apple iPhone 15 series, which is expected to launch in September this year. Many leaks have already hinted that iPhone models for 2023 may see major changes. According to a new report, the upcoming iPhone 15 will now support Wi-Fi 6E.
According to a research note shared by Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Tom O’Malley, the iPhone 15 will include Wi-Fi 6E. The analysts have not specified whether the feature will be available on all models or will be limited to the Pro models.
The brand has added Wi-Fi 6E support to a few devices so far, including the latest 11-inch and 12.9-inch Apple iPad Pro, 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro, and Mac mini models. All iPhone 14 models remain limited to standard Wi-Fi 6.
Wi-Fi 6 operates on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, while Wi-Fi 6E also operates on the 6 GHz band, enabling faster wireless speeds, lower latency, and less signal interference. To take advantage of these benefits, the device must be connected to a Wi-Fi 6E router, which is available from brands such as TP-Link, Asus and Netgear, MacRumors reported.
Wi-Fi 6E was also expected for iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 models and didn’t materialize, but now that the Cupetino-based tech giant has started rolling out Wi-Fi 6E support to its latest devices, it’s more likely that the iPhone 15 will finally support the standard.
Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max with Dynamic Island and a USB-C port. In addition, the Pro models are expected to get Apple’s latest A17 Bionic chip, a titanium frame, solid-state volume and power buttons, and more.
Another report from MacRumors revealed that the iPhone 15 Pro models will have thinner, curved edges compared to the iPhone 14 Pro models, potentially resulting in an Apple Watch-like look.
“According to ShrimpApplePro, the next generation Pro iPhone models will still have flat screens as only the edges need to be curved and the combination of thinner bezels and curved edges could result in a look similar to the Apple Watch Series 7 and Series 8.”, the report said.
