802.11ay will most likely succeed the 802.11ad standard, adding up to 4 streams of multiple transmissions receptions. Unlike the previous-generations Wi-Fi standards, 802.11ay uses the 60GHz spectrum, and according to MacRumors, it’s expected to be finalized by the end of 2020. Coming to the actual report, it talks about support for ultra-short range connectivity.
This might give the iPhone 12 support to wirelessly charge AirTags, or considerably improve the data transfer speeds of AirDrop processes. 802.11ay will have a shorter range, meaning that if you’re leaving a small room where the connectivity source is present, either the connection will be interrupted or speeds with suffer drastically.

While there are expected to be other differences separating the four models, ranging from different RAM counts to the number of cameras, we believe that 802.11ay support will be available for all of them.
