Rumor: iPhones with Wi-Fi 6E support coming this year

In a note to analysts — as noted by MacRumors — Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Thomas O’Malley say Apple plans to release its first iPhones with Wi-Fi 6E support in 2021. The Sellers Research Group (that’s me) says their prediction makes sense as it’s a logical step.

Wi-Fi 6E is a faster, more efficient version of Wi-Fi that allows wireless access points like routers to better manage networks crowded with lots of users and client devices. It’s not a new version of Wi-Fi like Wi-Fi 6, but is a term that identifies Wi-Fi 6 devices that are equipped with the chips and radios needed to operate in that new mass of spectrum the FCC just opened up.
