WiFi Speeds (iPhone 12 Pro Max)

I have discovered the same issue with my 12 Pro running the latest software. Using Speed Test my download speed via wifi on the 12 Pro is 113 mbps. Over ethernet the download speed on my wired network is 230 mbps (which is what I should be getting). My new Gen 8 iPad via wifi is the same as my 12 Pro.

My old iPad Gen 5 averages the same speed via wifi as ethernet (230 mbps). It should be noted that this iPad is also running the latest software (14.2).

The history log on the Speed Test app on my 12 Pro shows that when I ran a wifi speed test shortly after getting the 12 Pro (at the end of October) it was hitting at 230 mbps.

I would say that this issue would seem to be tied into a software change.

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.

Anyone can submit a report. Try this URL https://getsupport.apple.com and report the issue. You can also use the @applesupport on Twitter but Dansobolanu is correct, the more people who report this the quicker a fix can be pushed out.

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!

I upgraded to 12 pro max from iPhone X in nov. I get about 150mbs where I used to get upwards of 450mbs over my Orbi mesh 5ghz network. And in fact running Speedtest from router is currrently 482mbs. But from phone consistently slow. Even rebooted router. The only reason I ran test was phone was started to pause on Flickr and act laggy over internet. So I restarted phone, same result with Speedtest app that used to be fast consistently on iPhone X. I retest later in week

Running into the same problem. Was on the phone with them and the person said they were unaware of any issues. Also 3 other people with the same phone are experiencing the same issues. No other devices in my household are having this problem including and 11 pro, samsung note 10, computers, smart tvs, ect... I can't find anything online other that Clear Cache or removing apps running in background, things like that. I'm pretty sure I didn't by this phone to worry about having to clear my cache or disconnect and reconnect to wifi over and over.

Resolving was to check setting.

Screen Share: Checked Update

Was told to reset Network Settings

General>Reset>Network Settings

Next I was told if this didn't work I needed to reset my phone to factory.

I don't feel this was an issue when I first got the phone it seems like it started after 14.2.1 update

Pretty frustrating.

I just installed the 14.3 public beta on my iPad Pro and it did not resolve the WiFi speed issue. I hope they resolve it in some kind of update. The full update log did not mention anything about WiFi improvements.

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!!

One thing that helped me was 1. Ensure that the personal hotspot is OFF 2. Change DNS on the wifi network you are connected to, i use the goodle DNS 8.8.8.8 removed the others. You do this by pressing the little i icon next to the wifi then edit the dns.

Yep, nothing changed .. I think it’s even worse now ...

sometimes watching YouTube from phone to Samsung qled doesn’t want to connect, 4K keeps loading and even Airplay to same tv seems unstable... things that never happened before 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had deleted my NordVPN app and the speeds didn’t change. However using NordVPN service somehow improved the speeds a little bit. This is either a bug in the software of iOS or hardware firmware bug.
