According to SpeedSmart, the new iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max deliver a noticeable increase in 5G speeds thanks to the new Qualcomm Snapdragon X75 modem.

Here's What We Know

Testing has shown that 5G download speeds on these models have increased by an average of 23.7% over the previous generation.

Verizon customers saw the biggest improvement, with a 26.4% speed boost, delivering average download speeds of over 400Mbps. T-Mobile also delivered impressive results, with an average speed of 447.50Mbps, while AT&T delivered 269.48Mbps - a 25.7% speed improvement over previous models.
