Another reason to go Pro
With the Apple iPhone 16 range about to go on sale – preorders from tomorrow, in stores from September 20 – one of the reasons you might want to opt for a Pro or Pro Max model is faster 5G speeds, thanks to an upgraded modem.
The team at SpeedSmart (via 9to5Mac) has done some tests on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, finding that 5G download speeds are up to 26.4% higher than on the previous models, depending on the network.
That top improvement over the 2023 iPhones was seen on T-Mobile, with the increase across T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T averaging out at a jump of 23.7%. Both T-Mobile and Verizon were showing download speeds of well over 400Mbps, with AT&T lagging behind around the 270Mbps mark.
