Looking for the fastest iPhone 17 model? These iPhone 16 speed test results can help
Pit the iPhone 16's Qualcomm modem against Apple's C1 modem in the iPhone 16e, and the winner largely depends on your carrier and location.
To measure the differences between the Qualcomm and Apple modems, Ookla said that it tested the online speeds across a range of markets and countries, especially ones in which people have gravitated toward the lower-cost 16e. The company specifically chose the iPhone 16 and 16e since both devices are similarly designed and sport the same 6.1-inch screen, with the modem being the major difference between them. Overall, though, the iPhone 16's Qualcomm modem captured better download speeds on mobile networks with a 5G standalone (SA) footprint supporting higher carrier aggregation combinations and uplink MIMO technology.
