Yes, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are expected to include Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. This upgrade will allow these models to utilize the 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz frequency bands simultaneously, resulting in significantly improved performance, including faster data transfer speeds, reduced latency, and more reliable connectivity. Wi-Fi 7 is projected to achieve peak theoretical speeds exceeding 40 Gbps, which is four times faster than the maximum speeds of Wi-Fi 6E, currently supported by the iPhone 15 Pro models[1][2][4].
Analysts and supply chain reports widely anticipate this feature, with the iPhone 16 series expected to be released in September 2024[3][5].
