Multiple rumors have indicated that the next generation iPhone 15 Models It will adopt the Wi-Fi 6E standard already provided by Apple iPad Pro and MacBook Pro, and now a leaked document has surfaced to confirm Apple’s plans.
Sourced from the researcher and Apple Leaker Unknownz21 (@uredditor), the document contains schematics of the iPhone 15 antenna architecture. The D8x refers to the iPhone 15 Pro models, and the information indicates that the faster Wi-Fi 6E specification will be limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Standard iPhone 15 models, named D3y, will continue to use Wi-Fi 6 instead of Wi-Fi 6E. For further reference, D7x refers to a file iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, and D2y points out iPhone 14 and 14 Plus, with the document outlining antenna design changes between the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro. Mac rumors See additional documentation indicating that Wi-Fi 6E will be a Pro only feature.
As of now, Wi-Fi 6E has already been added to some suite of Apple products, but it is limited to the latest iPad Pro, mac mini, and MacBook Pro models. Apple has not previously restricted new Wi-Fi standards to the Pro IphoneHowever, the iPhone 15 Pro models will have many features not available in the iPhone 15, and limiting that makes sense from a cost and availability perspective.
Wi-Fi 6E allows devices to connect to routers and modems that support the Wi-Fi 6E standard, but it is a newer technology and is not yet widespread. Wi-Fi 6E routers are readily available, but since they’ve only been launched in the past few years, not many people and companies have upgraded yet. Wi-Fi 6E routers include the 6GHz band as well as the 2.4 and 5GHz bands, and to use 6GHz, a Wi-Fi 6E router and a Wi-Fi 6E device are required.
Compared to Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E offers more bandwidth, providing faster connection speeds, lower latency, and more capacity. Wi-Fi 6E offers 1.2GHz more spectrum in the 6GHz band, can support whole-home gigabit coverage, multi-gigabit connectivity for venues, and has the bandwidth for higher data streams such as those used in AR and VR experiences.
Since Wi-Fi 6E requires both routers and hardware to support the standard, it’s pretty much empty range at this time with little traffic, which means iPhone 15 Pro models with Wi-Fi 6E will be able to connect to Wi-Fi networks 6e which does not have much competition in terms of traffic from other devices.
Unknown 21 He has in the past leaked information on devices like the iPhone 14, and in 2020 he was able to get a source iOS 14 version Before its launch, share details about the update. Unknown 21 Tell Mac rumors That the sketch is “just the tip of the iceberg” and that additional leaks on the iPhone 15 series, including full images, will come before when the iPhone 15 models go into the EVT (Engineering Verification Test) phase of the walk.
The documents he obtained also confirm that the iPhone 15 Pro models will feature a faster 3nm A17 chipset and solid-state volume and power buttons. The iPhone 15 models will continue to use the A16 chipset, as previously rumored, and won’t have the redesigned volume buttons.
