Apple is hard at work on the upcoming iPhone 16 series. We fully expect to find the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro on our best phones list. But if the latest rumor is true, the Pro versions could get a leg up on the cheaper models thanks to full Wi-Fi 7 support.
The rumor comes to us from the Taiwanese supply chain publication DigiTimes. It says that it's "widely expected" that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will support Wi-Fi 7, which is a big deal for both speed and connection quality for buyers of the new smartphones.
Of course, to take advantage of Wi-Fi 7, you'll need to have one of the best Wi-Fi 7 routers in your home. If you do, you'll get all the benefits of the latest and greatest in connectivity, including the ability to send and receive data over the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands at the same time. With all three bands, you have faster Wi-Fi speeds and lower latency over a stronger connection, which are all good things.
This isn't the first crop of rumors about Wi-Fi 7 coming to iPhone 16 Pro models, as supply chain analyst Jeff Pu reported the same thing last year.
