Wi-Fi specifications for iPhone models
802.11 compatibility and frequency band: 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E), 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5), 802.11n (Wi-Fi 4), 802.11a, 802.11b/g and 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz.
Apple platforms supporting Wi-Fi 6E can join Wi-Fi 6E networks that are discoverable on 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz channels, and on 6 GHz Preferred Scanning Channels where 6 GHz is allowed by regulatory domain.
Note: Wi‑Fi 6E isn’t available in mainland China.
Physical layer (PHY) data rate: The highest rate at which a client can transmit data over Wi-Fi.
Channel bandwidth: The maximum channel bandwidth that is supported. Beginning with 802.11n, channels can be combined to create a wider channel that allows for more data to be transmitted during a single transmission. With 802.11n for 5 GHz band, two 20 MHz channels can be combined to create a 40 MHz channel. With 802.11ac for 5 GHz band, four 20 MHz channels can be combined to create an 80 MHz channel.
MCS index: The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index defines the maximum transmission rate at which 802.11ac/n devices can communicate. 802.11ac uses Very High Throughput (VHT) and 802.11n uses High Throughput (HT) frames.
Spatial streams/SISO/MIMO: Each radio can send a specific number of independent data streams, called spatial streams, at the same time, which can increase overall throughput. Single input single output (SISO) uses a single radio and antenna, and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) uses multiple radios and antennas.
The table below details the Wi-Fi specifications for the iPhone 11 or later models.
802.11 standard, name, frequency | Maximum PHY data rate | Maximum channel bandwidth | Maximum MCS index | Maximum spatial streams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ax@6 GHz Supported on all iPhone 15 Pro models | 2400 Mbps | 160 MHz | 11 (HE) | 2/MIMO |
ax@5 GHz | 1200 Mbps | 80 MHz | 11 (HE) | 2/MIMO |
ac@5 GHz | 866 Mbps | 80 MHz | 9 (VHT) | 2/MIMO |
a/n@5 GHz | 300 Mbps | 40 MHz | 7 (HT) | 2/MIMO |
ax@2.4 GHz | 195 Mbps | 20 MHz | 9 (HE) | 2/MIMO |
b/g/n@2.4 GHz | 144 Mbps | 20 MHz | 7 (HT) | 2/MIMO |
The table below details the Wi-Fi specifications for all iPhone X models.
802.11 standard, name, frequency | Maximum PHY data rate | Maximum channel bandwidth | Maximum MCS index | Maximum spatial streams |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ac@5 GHz | 866 Mbps | 80 MHz | 9 (VHT) | 2/MIMO |
a/n@5 GHz | 300 Mbps | 40 MHz | 7 (HT) | 2/MIMO |
b/g/n@2.4 GHz | 144 Mbps | 20 MHz | 7 (HT) | 2/MIMO |
