I suppose not much. For the first month I had it, I left it on T-Mobile just because I was thrilled by how much faster it was than Verizon. 😅
I had a look at all my router’s settings and there was nothing unusual in there.
Do you have a source for that or is this just assumption? I have a hard time believing this, to be honest, and a (quick, I admit) Google search didn't confirm it. In fact, there are also claims that it is the exact other way round – bigger, better antenna in the iPhone compared to the iPad.

Thanks. To me it is just interesting that out of three devices sitting side by side, the iPhone is the only one with the slower speeds. A 2 1/2 year old Samsung phone is kicking its ass.iPhone to router speed is a whole lot different than internet connection speed.
If you want to see how fast your iPhone is connecting just to the Router, use the App below. Make sure you’re using the 5ghz band. Its way faster than 2.4ghz

1Gb up/down.
Yup. I creatively named them WIFI5.1, WIFI5.2, and WIFI2.4. I made sure that the iPhone doesn’t know the 2.4 one. WIFI5.1 is the one where I connect most of my stuff and WIFI5.2 is just my phone and MBP. I may buy a different router and see if it makes a difference. Because I work remotely, I like to have a backup for if/when I lose a router (it’s happened before).
maybe take your phone in to Apple, definitely doesn't seem right. I have 1gb internet at home and my 14 pro max gets over 800 consistently
Same here. I can bring it to Apple. I would rather not exchange it though. It’s been about perfect so far.
have you tried a hard restart?Same here. I can bring it to Apple. I would rather not exchange it though. It’s been about perfect so far.
I have not so far. I figured the restart after updating to 6.2 would be enough.
Go take a look at a photo of the inside of both devices. You will see the difference. Just think about the difference in relative size. And the number of different antennas that the iPhone needs to have but a iPad does not. If you employ some engineering skills you can see the difference.
I totally agree with you. We all as a class seem to want more speed in our internet connection than we can actually use. Me included. But I reserve my insanity for my wired devices. I buy more internet access than I need and I use it for driving wired computer systems and servers. I use it to drive my home entertainment systems, I use it to drive my home automation systems. I don’t worry about how much capacity I have in my wireless network. Because I already really have much more than I need. People need to understand the most important rule in networking. Wired always beats wireless. So that is how I make my network work.
Mostly because we generally want our devices that we paid for to function the way that they are supposed to. Comparing how other people’s devices function is one way of determining this. Based on this logic, nothing should be considered an issue if it doesn’t render a device unusable. You may actually feel this way, I don’t know. Some people like troubleshooting and others would prefer to just tell people that what they’re looking at, even if it is an issue, is no big deal because it is something that they might not use or not use all of the time. I don’t play games on my devices and don’t even have any on them. Does that mean that the stutters and issues with game play shouldn’t matter? I certainly wouldn’t say it’s unimportant because the games still run.
