iPhone 11 Pro on wifi 6
Are there any visual indicators that would show when the phone is connected to a (802.11AX) WiFi 6 router vs. (802.11AC) WiFi 5?

No, you're correct that there are some Wifi 6 routers out there. There aren't many though. I guess I'll amend my response then to say there is no designation of Wifi 6 on iPhone. Just that iPhone came prepared for Wifi 6.
Do you have an Wifi 6 Router? Does your ISP even support Wifi 6 yet? It's far from widely supported in the real yet.
You're welcome. So we know the phone won't tell you. I would be curious to see if there is any discernible difference you can see in real world use. I suspect the answer will be no.
No confusion here. If you go back and re-read the question again. I was simply asking if there are any icon difference when the phone is connected to a WIFI 6 router. On the Samsung S10, there is a small 6 next to the wifi icon. Is there something similar on the iPhone 11?
Yes, you are confused. There are NO Wifi 6 routers. You're confusing a Wifi standard, which updates every year, with what bands a router broadcasts a Wifi signal. Doesn't matter whether Samsung suggest Wifi 6. That's hokus pokus, just like AT&T saying 5G is on any cell phone.
I have a friend who does, and I want to test it before considering upgrading myself. Just didn't know when I'm connected to his network, if the phone would show me that I'm on a wifi6 capable router so I can test the benefits.
Thanks for your time and response!
I think you're confused. Wifi 6 is a new standard for Wifi and has nothing to do whatsoever with Wifi 2.4ghz or 5ghz.
so you are saying that the WiFi 6 AX routers that are currently on the market are merely a marketing ploy?
Apple hasn’t said anything about it.
I’m guessing it doesn’t matter, you are either connected to Wifi or you aren’t.
here are the icons Apple say exists:
