Apple iPhone 15 Series Purported with 6GHz Wi-Fi 6E support; Better Wireless Speeds & Latency

Leaks on Apple's unreleased iPhone 15 lineup are piling up numerous specifications. A recent leak confirmed that Apple is priming the entire lineup with a RAM-type and capacity upgrade. The latest development shines a light on their enhanced Wi-Fi modems. As with previous iPhone models, the price is expected to remain the same.

Popular Apple analysts Blayne Curtis and Tom O'Malley report that the iPhone 15 models abound with the latest standard Wi-Fi 6E modems, following in the footsteps of the new MacBooks and iPads.

For those unaware, Wi-Fi 6E is the only standard that sports a 6GHz frequency band. 6E devices have exclusive bandwidth and can operate without interference with overutilized 2.4 and 5.0GHz bands. This results in faster wireless speeds and lower ping latency. 

For comparison, iPhone 14 series only brings Wi-Fi 6 support based on older 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz bandwidths. iPhone 15 lineup the new comer to the iPhone rate list is indeed receiving meaningful changes in terms of Wi-Fi performance. 6E on the latest iPhones will streamline Apple's entire portfolio. 

The firm right now only offers 6E Wi-Fi support for its Mac desks, iPad Pros, and Macbook Pros. It was only a matter of time before this feature made its way to Apple smartphones. The report didn't mention whether Wi-Fi 6E extends to all iPhones or only Pro and Ultra. Although the new Wi-Fi connects to the older frequency bands, users cannot benefit from its 6GHz bands until connected to a supported router.

Various rumors before the iPhone 14 price reveal and even 13 series release claimed Wi-Fi 6E support with the devices, which were later proven false. iPhone 15 series might be the one to support it, though we do suggest you take this news with a hint of skepticism and not get your hopes up just yet.
