This question is actually about both the iPad Air and the iPhone 5 and later.
The iPad Air website talks about how the iPad uses multiple antennas to have Wi-Fi speeds up to twice as fast as the previous generation. Also, starting with the iPhone 5, Apple advertised faster Wi-Fi performance than the previous models.
Does this mean these devices can simply levarge faster networks, or does it mean these devices will run faster than their predecessors on the same network?
For example. I currently have an iPhone 4S and an iPad 3. One of my only grips about my iPad is slow web browsing. I realize that the processors play a part here, but I wonder if better antennas would help.
I have 11 Mbp/s WiFi at home. If I ran an iPad Air or iPhone 5S alongside my current devices would their web browsing be faster discounting processor differences?
