iPhone 8 supports 802.11ac, which at the time of the 8 introduction could be up to 1,300 Mbps or 1.3 Gbps.


Of course, your ISP would have to be delivering those speeds and the Wi-Fi router would have to be capable of handling those speeds. The iPhone 8 would have to be very close to the router as well.


Most routers that claimed 1,300 Mpbs speeds typically checked out at about 700-800 Mbps.


Real world, the iPhone 8 might check out at 500-600 Mbps on a great day.


Cellular data, best the iPhone could do on an LTE or 4G connection....I don't know, but I would be surprised if it was much over 50 Mbps if that.
