IPhone 16 Series Outperforms Predecessors in 5G

The iPhone 16 series has shown significant improvements in 5G performance compared to its predecessors and some competing devices, particularly in markets like India and the United States. In India, the iPhone 16 achieved a median download speed of 261.57 Mbps, outperforming the Samsung Galaxy S24, which recorded 251.17 Mbps. However, in the Philippines, the Galaxy S24 led with a median download speed of 158.47 Mbps, while the iPhone 16 showed only modest improvements at 125.68 Mbps. Overall, the iPhone 16 has demonstrated enhanced 5G capabilities in many regions, although its performance is still surpassed by the Galaxy S24 in certain areas. The ongoing analysis from Ookla indicates that the decision to upgrade may depend on multiple factors beyond speed. Future competitive devices from Android manufacturers may also influence the 5G landscape as they adopt new technologies.
