iphone4 gets wireless-N, is wifi sync on its way!?
Following the WWDC event the other day it has been announced that iPhone 4 will support wireless N. Now, I fail to see any benefit of this other than distance from the wifi point being increased, not a problem for most of us so seems unlikely its the reason apple have included it?
This leads me to believe that they put it there for a reason, wireless sync with itunes perhaps? It would make perfect sense to me. Would this mean I could sync with my itunes server tho? What are your thoughts? |

Isn't it just so your network only needs to be n-compatible? If the rest of your equipment is on one system then your iPhone may as well support the same standard.

No idea. most people dont use wireless N so it seems odd they would introduce it for the minority. Must have something planned for it.

All of the wireless standards work at the same speed as the lowest connection to the network. So if you have a N wireless network and you connect a G wireless device, all of the devices will reduce to G speeds. By adding N wireless support to the iPhone, people with N networks will continue to get N speeds.
I can see N wireless being the defacto minimum for any device in the very near future. Apple are just following this trend. Sensibly IMO. |

In the setting for the router you can set at what speeds you output data at. If you set your router for N only then it will only output N speeds. But if you set it to output N and G and B then it will allow b and g devices to connect at b ang g speeds, but also let an N device connect at N speeds. |
