Apple and Wi-Fi 7
Apple's iPhone 16 series supports Wi-Fi 7, leveraging its speed and latency improvements. However, the latest Macs with M4 chips still use Wi-Fi 6E. The iPhone 16's Wi-Fi 7 implementation is limited to 160MHz channel bandwidth, not the full 320MHz, reflecting the early stages of Wi-Fi 7 adoption.
