Wifi antenna

in the absence of any actual evidence to prove that claim, I don't believe it. Plus android is an operating system that runs on numerous manufacturers devices. Those devices are all somewhat different and are manufactured using different hardware, so I don't believe that every (or any) device running a version of Android has inherently longer range or better wifi hardware or connections.

Please perform the following actions and after each one test to see if the problem is resolved - if so then you can omit the following steps - I have tried to list them in order of increasing effort at least on a Mac and / or an iDevice

1. Check to see if the problem is isolated to one device and if other devices connect normally -
2. If the answer to 1 is "yes" - try to connect the affected device in another location if possible - café or university
3. Please see Apple's recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
4. Perform a forced restart - this does not delete or purge any data and troubleshoots many issues - here is how - Hold down the Off/On and Home buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Allow normal boot up.
5. Settings - WiFi - <network name> - Click on forget the network - do a forced restart as per 4 and then add the network again
6. If at home - reboot the router by unplugging for 60 seconds from the AC (mains) and then plug it back in - obviously this step cannot be done in a public place as a café/airport or university. While you are at it - make sure your router is operating on the latest firmware (check manufacturer site)
7. Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings - remember to have WiFi passwords handy since this erases stored WiFi passwords
8. If this is a net new device especially in your home - make sure the router is giving enough DNS numbers to accommodate everything that needs / wants a connection - stuff like the printer, Chromecast get overlooked - ask for details about this if not sure
9. Backup the device to iTunes - Restore as NEW (not from backup) using iTunes - see if problem resolves - if yes - restore backup
10. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

iPhones' wifi requires more strong signal to detect available network than android mobiles. Why?

I am with Michael on this. My 4 iOS devices have no problems whatsoever with Wi-Fi and my friends with Androids don't do any better so if you are having issues don't ignore the suggestions, try them and see if they help you.

1) Perform a Forced Restart: Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Allow device to restart.

2) Reset Network Settings: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Rejoin the Network again.

3) Reboot Router/Modem: Unplug from power for 2 minutes and plug again. Update Router Firmware (check manufacturer’s support website for a newer FW). Also try different bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) and different bandwidths (20 MHz recommended for the 2.4 band).

4) Change to Google's DNS: Settings > Wi-Fi > Click on the Network, Delete all numbers under DNS and enter 8.8.8.8 or alternatively 8.8.4.4

5) Disable device prioritization on the router if this feature is available. Also disable any VPN apps and test Wi-Fi again.

6) Determine if other Wi-Fi devices on network are working well (other iOS devices, Macs, PCs).

7) Try device at another Network, i.e., neighbors’, public coffee house, etc.

8) Backup and Restore the Device using iTunes (ask for additional for details if desired).

9) Go to an Apple Store for hardware evaluation.

I tried several times and even with iPhone 6+ but ordinary androids can detect easily check by yourself

As Michael said, Android is not a device, it is an operating system. Again, running on multiple manufactured devices, ranging from HTC, LG, Motorola, etc.. Like elcpu said, I have multiple iOS devices at home and have not experienced any issues with wi-fi on any of them, from my own network to public networks. If you are experiencing a wi-fi issue on your particular device, then troubleshoot your device, do not lump all iOS devices together due to an issue you may experience with one.

Not to mention, their WiFi chip maker is Broadcom up to this point. Not exactly an Apple specific brand.

I've been using iPhones as my sole telephone for about 8 years now, and I've had iPads for the past 4 years. I've never had any trouble connecting to wifi nodes at home, friends and families' homes, work, or when traveling (Coffee shops, restaurants, hotels, convention centers, airports, etc, etc).
