Based on this, Les Numeriques Laboratory tested this series of models. From the results, it can be seen that although the iPhone 16 series has been upgraded to Wi-Fi 7, it is still only at the level of the iPhone 15 Pro Max in terms of wireless speed.

▲ iPhone 16 Plus and 16 Pro have difficulty exceeding 1.6 Gb/s.

For comparison, the lab also conducted tests with an ASUS ZenBook S 14 laptop under the same network conditions, with both download and upload rates reaching 4 Gbps to prove that there are no router limitations.
