I will. Waiting for the Xfinity XB10 to be released, hopefully by the end of this year.
I do.
Yes.
I've had ~1400 Mbs connections with my iPhone 15 Pro Max since it came out with 6E.
Got a tip for us?

When apple announced something and are in line with modern capabilities, “no one wants this or has the means to take advantage.” When they announce something and aren’t first to the party, “apple sucks and never innovate and android has had this for years.” 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️✌🏾
Well, you are obviously not the target audience then.
In some countries 300 Mbps is already obsolete, not available anymore, only 500 Mbps and up. And soon only 1 Gbps and up. The tiers will be as follows: 1 - 2.5 - 5 - 10 Gbps.
The amount of data used doesn't matter. It's about how fast you want something done, time is money.
In real life, let's say you go out of the country a couple times only, but prefer to take a flight to get there faster, rather than wasting your time driving.
Imagine downloading a 150GB game on Steam, it takes only 20 minutes on a 1 Gbps connection, but you have to wait over 1 hour on a 300 Mbps connection.

I also have 10Gb fiber with Unifi network. It's fantastic. It looks like MLO finally became a feature in the Unifi early access channel, just 2 weeks ago. I hear it's buggy, but I'll be interested to test it when I get the iPhone.
It still pisses me off the Vision Pro doesn't have 6E support, but worse, no ethernet capability via dongle. Running ALVR requires very high bandwidth and very low latency. It works well in my network, I can average around 700 Mb on the 5 Ghz channel on the Vision pro (iPerf to my host PC), but it could be much better.
I have the UniFi U6 enterprise AP's and they run WARM. The newer U7 Pro's that launched earlier this year have fans built inside so I'm going to wait until that improves.
Don't expect to see wifi 7 at airports or businesses anytime soon. The offices where I've deployed them already are power hungry, failing faster and have required new injectors and switches which is making upgrades more costly.

I get it it, but we don't have any gamers in the house, and waiting an hour vs 30 mins isn't a big deal. The kids play Minecraft and Stardew Valley, and we have a switch. That's all, and no one has a Steam account.. We're not big internet users.
300 was the minimum offering. No sense in spending unnecessary money on a faster connection we wouldn't take advantage of.

Wifi 7 is invaluable for a variety of local wireless computing use cases and not trivial to implement.
Things can't always cost the same as before when the advancements are much more complex and higher in costs to provide in more risky economy (and suppliers asking for more money in the process).
Even consoles have raised prices. These are not normal time.
If you want the privilege to use Wifi 7, you're gonna have to wait some more till it hits your ideal price (within reason and educated on how. realistic your budget) or accept you'll have to pay more than what you'd like if you want it today

Unifi 7 Pro. It's just an AP though not a router - the UDM Pro handles all the routing.
1.6gbit here, but you're right not much LAN on a phone, LOTs from my MacBook though where i'd love Wifi 7 and yet i'm 95% sure we'll see Wifi 6e like the M4 iPad when they launch at the end of the year unfortunately.
Ditto. Until this Wi-Fi 7 surprise with all four iPhones 16, I had low expectations for this fall's coming Macs (i.e. I expected them to have only 6e). But now we can reasonably expect the coming MacBook Pro's, etc. to support Wi-Fi 7.
I wonder what the corporate explanation is for why Apple has been so conspicuously behind on supporting the latest-generation Wi-Fi technology in most of its products for the past several years, but now finally it seems to be acting more like what we'd expect from a/the leading technology company. Has there been any change in suppliers -- do we know who made the Wi-Fi chips in last year's iPhones 15, compared to the current iPhones 16? (Broadcom??)
On a related note, it's worth pointing out that a number of Apple's products are still limited to Wi-Fi 4(!!) for example HomePod 2G and HomePod mini, and even the just-introduced Apple Watch Series 10. Also as someone else mentioned, the Vision Pro supports only Wi-Fi 6, not 6E (which it surely could use, and despite having been marketed after last year's iPhone 15 Pro).
Here in France, hundreds of thousands, with the Freebox Ultra ISP you have Wifi7 and symmetric 8Gbps fiber
I upgraded to 6 a year ago and could tell immediately with range and throughput. My car and backyard get WiFi signal and speeds are still strong.
I could tell a difference in range, but not throughput, but I did a mesh setup when I upgraded so that could be why. Three eero 6 wired in out large house house. I'm adding one to the barn too, when I get around to do. It's about 300 yards away, so I'm going to do a point-to-point link.
