This is what a tech relayed to me. The new iPhone16 use WiFi7. Whats nice about WiFi7 is the protocol is much more efficient when you are using lots of devices and there are lots of throughput improvements too complex to discuss here. Good reading if you google WiFi7 or search YouTube videos.
My tech told me they don't do the small pods any more. We still get good coverage throughout our house. Speed test shows 950mb to the house, but only 90 ish for down/up load from the router for wifi.
