But Ookla, the folks behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speedtest.net\/\">the SpeedTest app and website<\/a>, have analyzed about five weeks\u2019 worth of users\u2019 testing data to get an idea of how the iPhone 17 lineup stacks up to the iPhone 16, as well as Android phones with Wi-Fi chips from Qualcomm, MediaTek, and others.<\/p>\n<p>While the N1 isn\u2019t at the top of the charts, Ookla <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ookla.com\/articles\/apple-n1-2025\">says<\/a> Apple\u2019s Wi-Fi chip \u201cdelivered higher download and upload speeds on Wi-Fi compared to the iPhone 16 across every studied percentile and virtually every region.\u201d The median download speed for the iPhone 17 series was 329.56Mbps, compared to 236.46Mbps for the iPhone 16; the upload speed also jumped from 73.68Mbps to 103.26Mbps.<\/p>\n<p>Ookla noted that the N1\u2019s best performance seemed to improve scores most of all in the bottom 10th percentile of performance tests, \u201cimplying Apple\u2019s custom silicon lifts the floor more than the ceiling.\u201d The iPhone 17 also didn\u2019t top Ookla\u2019s global performance charts\u2014Ookla found that the Pixel 10 Pro series slightly edges out the iPhone 17 in download speed, while a Xiaomi 15T Pro with MediaTek Wi-Fi silicon featured better upload speeds.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year\u2019s newest iPhones included one momentous change that marked a new phase in the evolution of Apple Silicon: the Apple N1, Apple\u2019s first in-house chip made to handle local wireless connections.
