IPhone 5s vs iPad Air: wifi speeds

Recently my broadband connection has been upgraded from 60mbps to 100. Yesterday I performed a speedtest on both my iPhone 5s and iPad Air. The air showed download speed of 97mbps but the 5s showed only 41. This is on virgin media using their superhub.
Are there any likely reasons for such differences? Could it indicate a problem with my 5S?
Thanks in advance

Hi
Although both the iphone and ipad both support 2.4GHz and 5GHz along the same wifi card the ipad had MIMO technology which stands for multiple-input and multiple-output, the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance this could be your difference, so i would say there is anything wrong with your iphone
Hope this helps

  • IPad Air wifi sync a lot slower than iPhone 5s?

    I just got my new iPhone 5s yesterday and found out that its wifi syncing to itunes is a lot faster than the iPad Air I bought a few days ago. Actually iPad Air wifi syncing is so much slower than iPhone 5s, almost half speed, just as slow as wifi syncing with my iPhone 4, is this normal?
    I've tested another iPad Air of my friend, and found out that his new iPad is as slow as mine. Anyone know WHY? Is there anything / settings we're missing?
    I have the latest AirPort Extreme as wifi router.

    It's not much help but here is another thread with similar problems.

    Can I use the sim from my iphone 5c in the ipad air wifi+cellular?

    Both the iPad Air and iPhone 5C use a nano-SIM. Physically, they will work, but your operator may have some restriction. You should check with them.

  • Iso8 will not download to my IPad Air WiFi it says notification has been sent and I must wait, 24 hours?

    Hi, last night I updated my IPhone 4s over home wifi with no problems but I've also been trying to update my IPad Air WiFi which just keeps telling me that a notification has been sent to Apple and I have to wait for the update, that's been the case now for over 20 hours? Please can some one tell me what I've done wrong and how do I fix it.
    MAny thanks.... marldonman.

    Last night there weren't millions and millions of new iPhone users all trying to activate and fill their devices up with apps.
    This is prime time for the US but also early evening in the UK and europe, so lots of people all trying to do the same thing.
    my experience wednesday and last night was that I didn't get decent download speed until 8-9pm central time

  • How do I permanently transfer photos, video & TV shows from iphone 5 to ipad air?

    My 16gb iphone 5 iOS 7.1 is advising my storage is almost full. I've just purchased a 32gb Ipad air wifi iOS 7.1 and would like to permanently transfer my photos & video and downloaded tv shows from the iphone to the ipad, then delete said photos, video and tv shows off my iphone without it then deleting off my ipad.  Can this be done?  By what method?
    In regards to the photos, I started doing the transfer via the shared stream option but realised if I then deleted off my iphone it would delete off my other devices i.e. ipad, as well.  In regards to the TV shows I've managed to sync the iphone and ipad so that both devices are displaying all TV shows - I think I did this through itunes? - but I'm hesitant to now delete off my iphone before confirming they'll stay on the ipad.
    Apologies for the convoluted questioning...I've tried researching this myself but just can't seem to get my head around it. 
    Thanks very much in advance

    use icloud to sync the images to and delete them locally
    or import them to the computer and sync them with the other device
    and delete them after you import them on the device where you don't want them

  • I can't get Apple TV mirroring to work from any of my iOS devices (Ipad2, iPhone 5 and iPad air).

    I can't get mirroring to work from any of my iOS devices (Ipad2, iPhone 5 and iPad air). I click on airplay, and select mirroring, but nothing appears on the tv screen and the connection with the Apple TV drops off after 5 seconds. Any ideas why

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
        2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
        3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        5.    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
        6.    Restart your mobile device.

  • I am not receiving my yahoo email on both my IPhone 6 and IPad Air.  I tried deleting the account and reinstalling but still not receiving email.  I can access email if I go thru Safari to the yahoo mail page.

    I am not receiving yahoo email on my IPhone 6 and IPad Air, both are iOS 8.2.  I can only access email by going thru Safari to the yahoo mail page.  I tried to delete the yahoo account on the phone and reinstalled, to no avail.  Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

    My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

    You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

    That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.

  • How do I sync my iPhone contacts on iPad Air

    How do I sync my iPhone contacts on iPad Air.
    iCloud is already enabled and configured on both devices but can not get my contacts in the iPad.  Additionally, the groups button isn't in contacts app and when I save a new contact on the iPad simply disappears and again is no contact in the contact list.

    Using iCloud is the easiest way: http://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/setup/

  • How do I transfer all my data from an iPad Air wifi 32 GB to a brand new iPad Air 2 64GB?

    I received right now a brand new iPad Air2 wifi 64 GB. How do I transfer ALL MY DATA from another iPad Air wifi 32 GB ?

    Back up your old one. I use and prefer iTunes, but back up all the data, etc.
    Then unplug it. Plug your new one in and go through the setup steps. When you see the option to set up as new or restore from the backup you just made, choose that and your new iPad will be a near clone of the old one.

  • ITunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync.

    iTunes movies no longer sync from Dell laptop or MacBook Pros (both authorized devices) to iPhone 6s or iPad Air 2s after configured at Apple store yesterday.  In the past I could see the movies in iTunes with the cover photo and sync to the other devices but now there is a listing a movies with no cover photos and in fact if I try to view the movie on the MacBook Pro it cannot be found unless I download it.

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air

    Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air.  Date on Windows 8.1 is correct.  Thank you.

    Try doing  a reset on your phone. Sounds like your carrier's time set is not getting through to your device. If the reset doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. That should do it.
