Can you do a quick iperf test?
My wife has a iPhone 6s now and is quite pleased. It replaced an iPhone 4s is much faster and better in her opinion. I am happy because it works with my 5GHz Wi-Fi network only system.
WiFi to WAN via LAN - 64.03 Mbps down/5.37 Mbps up (CoxHSI 50/5 committed BW)
LTE/4G - 22.55 Mbps down/19.15 Mbps up (AT&T)
Hotspot/AP mode - similar to LTE/4G
Note - LTE/WAN performance is dependent on the broadband operators - some will be faster, some slower..
Any idea what wifi chip Apple uses? Or is that an undisclosed secret sauce?
So, no MU-MIMO for either the iPhone 6S or the Nexus 5X (older QCA6174 according to the iFixIt tear down). For two high profile phones released in the second half of 2015, I find that highly disappointing. I suspect that most client manufacturers will wait for both router availability AND Wifi Alliance validation. Once again, the chicken-and-egg problem.
iPhone 6s – quick review
Performance Quick Test
WiFi to WAN via LAN - 64.03 Mbps down/5.37 Mbps up (CoxHSI 50/5 committed BW)
390.14 Mbps from 2 meters (VHT80)
Interesting to note that the new Apple TV 4th Gen (ATV4) uses the same WiFi/BT module as the iPhone6s/6sPlus...
I'll probably do a quick snapshot of that device shortly - it's pretty much the same from a client perspective with an interesting twist - peer to peer Airplay support from certain Apple devices which might impact your channel planning...
WiFi Direct?
TDLS?
sfx 2000,
Thank you for this work illustrating the iPhone 6s WIFI MIMO capacity. I want to “go to the metal" on this one for the purpose of designing a rather atypical app. It is my understanding that the radio is mostly software. I want to know everything about Universal Scientific Industrial 339S00043. That and RF1347 the AP?
I would appreciate any molecule of info you can throw my way. We will be using the iPhone MIMO solo with possibly cloud enhancement. I am also looking for people who like to do hard things not done before just for fun, at least in the beginning.
For we feel the timing is perfect right now for what we propose and will be for at least one year.
