"Ookla has found that Apple's custom N1 networking chip that integrates the Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread radios in the iPhone 17 family " delivers a clear step-change in real-world Wi-Fi performance " when compared to the Broadcom chip used in the iPhone 16 models. In North America, the iPhone 17 family also outperformed flagship Android phones when it came to Wi-Fi download speeds during the same time period."
"Using Speedtest Intelligence data gathered during the six-week period after Apple's latest smartphones were released, Ookla found that the median download and upload speeds of the iPhone 17 family were both up to 40 percent higher than the iPhone 16 family around the world. The N1's 10th-percentile speeds were even faster at 60 percent higher than the iPhone 16, implying the new chip's performance improvements are even more noticeable in "challenging Wi-Fi conditions.""
Ookla found Apple's custom N1 networking chip, which integrates Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread radios, delivers a clear step-change in real-world Wi‑Fi performance compared to the Broadcom chip in iPhone 16 models. Median download and upload speeds for the iPhone 17 family were up to 40 percent higher worldwide during the six-week post-release period, while 10th‑percentile speeds were about 60 percent higher, indicating stronger performance in challenging Wi‑Fi conditions. The N1 is limited to 160 MHz channels and does not use 320 MHz channels, yet the iPhone 17 family still outperformed flagship Android models in North America, with median and 90th percentile downloads of 416.14 Mbps and 976.39 Mbps.
