Apple’s New N1 Wireless Chip Reportedly Rivals Android Flagships in Real-World Wi-Fi Speeds
Apple’s new N1 wireless networking chip, introduced with the iPhone 17 series and iPhone Air, delivers a major real-world performance boost over the previous generation and competes closely with Android flagships. Crowdsourced Ookla data shows higher speeds, stronger consistency in weak Wi-Fi conditions and improved reliability, despite the N1 lacking full 320MHz Wi-Fi 7 support.
