What is WiFi 6E? What is WiFi 7? WiFi router differences explained

There are various versions of WiFi – which one your router and devices have will determine the speed and range of your wireless internet connection. We explain what they are and how to find out which ones you have.

And with eSIM, users can quickly and securely add a new plan, connect and transfer existing cellular plans digitally, and stay in touch with family and friends regardless of WiFi availability — perfect for users working on the go, like frequent business travellers or architects out in the field.

The new iPad Pro also features N1, a new Apple-designed wireless networking chip that enables WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread. N1 brings better performance when connected to 5GHz networks and improves the overall performance and reliability of features like Personal Hotspot and AirDrop.
