You mean 6E... Wifi 6 doesn't reach 1Gbps (even though the specs says it should)
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 15 Models Support USB-C to Ethernet for Faster Internet Speeds

We can always do it with personal hotspot, but one needs iTunes to be installed. If you want driverless solution, idk.
The net throughput isn’t quite 1 Gbps with gigabit ethernet either, so from what I've seen Wifi 6 is comparable under optimal conditions.
In speed maybe. In latency, consistency and reliability no wifi compares to wired which is why I'd rather restore my iPhone from a backup using a lightning to USB adapter and then a USB gigabit network interface even though it will max out at around 400 Mbps.
As per posts above WiFi can be better than wired if you have 6E. Depends, of course, on the reliability of your WiFi network.
Talked with the Xfinity installers who were doing some work on my street. Told me they were upgrading to support 3 Gbps and making it more symmetric. Haven't seen it being available though.
Not what I am seeing on a Studio.
Ethernet
6E
which is pretty much the maximum given overhead.
there is a program called "Network Speed Tester" which allows you to test your intranet. Right now though it is not giving me the expected results. Neither is iperf3 for some reason (574 Mbps).
It'll get there eventually. But DOCSIS 4 is the end of the line. No interest in developing or deploying a fifth version.
Hopefully they can figure out a way to get rid of docsis entirely and use the existing cable infra as more of an ethernet dumb pipe, since the wire itself has plenty of bandwidth. its docsis holding it back.
A long distance is always a problem. Can be fixed but not easy or cheap.
Did you mean DOCSIS 3?

Yes. I was actually arguing in favor of Ethernet, since most people don’t even have a Wifi 6 router.
No. D3 is what is widely deployed now, and they're moving to D4 to bring multi gig and symmetric. What I'm saying is there is no interest for DOCSIS 5 because just stringing fiber would be cheaper and easier.
Operators debate whether to stick with DOCSIS or upgrade to FTTP
What people don’t understand about 6E using 6Ghz band is that 6Ghz requires extremely close proximity and no obstructions in order to attain those big speeds.
2.4Ghz = slower but much longer range and moves through objects better
5Ghz = faster but shorter range and moves through objects more poorly
6Ghz = very fast speed but much shorter range and moves very poorly through objects
6Ghz viability relies on mesh networks really.

USB-C cable opens a lot of process possibilities on iPhone. Glad Apple made the change!👍👍👍
Has anyone managed to get full speeds using a USB hub? Mine cut the speeds down to 480Mbps even though iOS recognized the adapter as a 2.5GbE one.
This has been possible for a long time. I remember trying USB to Ethernet adapters (using the Lightning to USB adapter) many years ago. Granted, it was limited to USB 2.0 speeds, so it’s nice that the limitation is now removed with the Pro series.
I dunno if you consider this a USB hub, or an adapter. But I get 928/942 Mbps when connected to this thing:

Does it support POE so that you can charge the phone while using the internet?
Actually Yes.... if you have a combined PoE / Gigabit LAN USB-C adapter. They do exist, but rare.
Smart things s28 being an example, they also had a version for lightning but the USB-C version is more capable.
I recall trying one of these back in the day. If I recall correctly, it was essentially a USB Ethernet adapter but with a lightning connector, and limited to USB 2.0 speeds. Thus, it maxed out at 480Mbps. Still certainly useful for 95% of Ethernet tasks, but not full gigabit.

Following the launch of the iPhone 15 series today, a few readers of our website have reached out to highlight that the devices support USB-C to Ethernet adapters, allowing for a wired internet connection with faster download speeds than Wi-Fi.

Apple confirmed this information in a support document last week, with USB to Ethernet adapters listed as compatible with iPhone 15 models. When an iPhone is connected to an Ethernet cable, an otherwise hidden Ethernet menu appears in the Settings app with IP-related information and various configuration options.
One reader informed us that their iPhone 15 Pro connected to Ethernet achieved a peak download speed of over 800 Mbps in a speed test.
While this is one of the various clever ways that the USB-C port on the iPhone 15 models can be used, it should be known that previous iPhones with the Lightning connector also supported Ethernet with an adapter. Nevertheless, we have decided to highlight this information as a helpful tip since it is getting attention.
All four iPhone 15 models launched today in the U.S. and more than 40 other countries.

This guy (see link below) got an iPhone 15 Pro Max to do 1.4 gbps down and 1.2 up via WiFi 6E.

iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB #WiFi6E initial speed test on 1.5 down/1.0 up fiber connection. Will setup internal server for test later, see how high it can go when not constrained by external connection limit. Hit 1.4 down and 1.2 up on one run. #iPhone15ProMax #iPhone15Pro
