Wifi speeds on Iphone 12 Pro is slow, 6yo ipad is fast

My iPhone 12 Pro (using the FCC internet speed app) shows 3.13 mbps down, 5.14 mbps up

My 9.7" iPad Pro shows 130 mbps UP and 6.14 mbps DOWN.

both devices were connected to 5mhz wifi, and laying next to each other in the same room.

10x difference in speeds.

WHY???

I.ve rebooted iphone, erased memory of the wifi networks (forget network), this is nuts.

iPad pro 2022 unable to discover wifi 6e Hello, Would like to connect my new iPad pro 2022 to wifi 6e to asus rog rapture gt-axe 11000. To see whether it helps to lower network latency / ping in online gaming. Is there any reason why the ipad can only discover the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz only but unable to discover the 6Ghz also unable to join manually - as it fails to find it. Tried most tips, no luck so far. Any idea would be much appreciated - Thanks

iPhone 13 drops BOTH WiFi and cellular connection overnight My iPhone 13 is dropping both the WiFi and cellular connection overnight. It occurs at home and at work (I work 48 hr shifts) so it’s not isolated to one location. Every morning I have to shutdown and restart. Simply switching airplane mode, WiFi or cellular does not resolve. It requires a full shutdown. Running iOS 16.1.2

iPhone won't automatically connect to car Wi-Fi My iphone used to be able to Auto-Join my car Wifi with SW ver 15, but when i upgraded to SW ver 16, my phone stopped Auto-Join Car Wifi and now I have to connect manually. I do not have any issues auto-joining Home network or any other Auto-Join networks. This seems to only impact my Car Wifi. I have also turned "Private Wi-Fi Address" On and Off and that did not work. Is anyone else seeing this issue with the latest Software release? Thanks! [Re-Titled by Moderator]
