iPhone 14 Pro has the best speed in more than just processing

There is a new report out about the world's fastest 5G mobile devices, and the iPhone 14 Pro family sits in the top spot in most countries.

The speed test provider released a Tuesday report to examine 5G performance data in 10 countries. These countries have the highest number of connected mobile devices, according to GSMA.

Specifically, the analysis looks at the five fastest popular 5G devices in a given country. Devices had to have a market share greater than or equal to 0.5% of all devices and a minimum sample size of 100.

Ookla includes Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, the Philippines, South Africa, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam.

The study reveals that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max were the fastest 5G devices in the US. They had a median 5G download speed of 177.21 Mbps and 175.08 Mbps, respectively, during quarter three of 2022.
