WiFi Speeds (iPhone 12 Pro Max)

Same here, the wifi speed fluctuates A LOT! I tried every possible way I could but it’s still isn’t fixed. My other android devices are working very fine with the same wifi network with a consistent speed. This is my first apple device and I’m very disappointed.

Yes I’ve read this thread extensively and my symptoms are the same as everyone else’s. I’ve done all of the remediation, I have an iPhone 8 to compare to as well as an iPad Pro. All three are connected to 5G antenna of my Comcast router, and the 12 Pro Max is approximately 63% of the other two devices, sitting all next to each other 10 feet away from the router and using the same speed test server.

I guess we paid for an excellent camera!

That’s exactly what I get.. main router slower then the one in bridge connection :)

things are sideways!

most time I’m near the main one and it’s disturbing when it shows loading on a 4K video on YouTube :)

p.S. i also have a WiFi 6 gigabytes motherboard near the main router and that works flawlessly!

Same here. I thought it was my wifi at first but other devices (even older ones) are faster and I had the same response on other peoples network. When I turned off the WiFi I was able to send data faster.

Hello Apple,

I'm also having this problem with my iPhone 12.

I realize that I don't have the fastest WiFi, but I get 35 Mbps with my iPad pro every time I test. The same goes to my iPad mini from 2015 as well as with my desktop's WiFi adapter. 35 Mbps every single time.

On the exact same spot I get no more than 23 Mbps with my iPhone 12. Also every time.

Can we please get some help?

Thanks for the heads up, I just contacted apple support, they could not solve the issue so they escalated it to Engineering Team and supposed to have some news by Wednesday Dec 9 2020, no big hopes here... I believe it is yet another apple fiasco releasing a product that is not ready for consumer’s use

I find it truly amazing that my poor, beaten up iPad mini 3, bought in 2015, constantly reaches my internet's maximum speed of 35 Mbps but my € 1000 iPhone 12 struggles between 23 and 24 Mbps.

Truly an accomplishment by Apple! Thanks!

There's something seriously wrong with this.

After resetting all the network settings (again), I was back to my maximum speed (36 Mbps). Only 2 days later and we're back to 23 Mbps.

Not what one would expect from a thousand dollar phone. My iPad from 2015, standing just beside it, gets the whole 36Mbps, as well as my Windows desktop my iPad Pro from 2018 and and an old Samsung Galaxy device I got from work. All of them get 36 Mbps every single time, except the newest iPhone...

people should send something directly to 

many reviewers have mentioned that there is no firmware update for modem in the new iOS 14.3 ... and next week on Monday to Wednesday they will release it !

I’ve sent this link to them...hope they see it !

I have the same issue. I hold my new 12 PRO MAX side by side with my old 10x MAX, the ladder opens up as usual as my 12 PRO MAX takes very long! This is very disappointing! I am jot sure what needs to be done!!

I really hope 14.4 fixes this issue, it’s very frustrating

I see there have been several posts removed that discussed a beta version. If you join the beta program you “signed" a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that among other things prevents you from discussing the beta in a public forum such as this. That’s why some posts may have been removed. (There is a private beta forum for beta participants).

simply not true. I never mentioned that I had a beta! Plus when support reached out, they never mention about not telling ANYONE that they reached out. Listen, I am not trying to provoke anything and discredit anyone. I am just one Apple fanboy like you are and feel disappointed when this kind of thing happen. I think it is very unfair from the prospective of customer to be lied or hide something, in this situation the issue that is real! Why not promote transparency? ✌️

Thanks for this insight. Apple staff should report this thread to the engineers for review as you can see it affects all of the new devices across many ISPs and Vendors equipment. My LTE performance is much better on iPhone 12 mini but wifi is the main issue.

I haven’t seen higher speeds than intel on AX pc’s but maybe is just my experience....

we will probably have to wait at least one more month for something clear!

( just today a friend laughed at my new and expensive phone, while his 8plus had better speed results )

I have been having the same WiFi issues, sometimes it’s normal then it will drop and becomes very slow or no connection. Like you all my other Apple devices is not experiencing the same issue with the problem so it is not the router’s problem. I may make a service appointment early next year.
