Internet slow speed is not a new issue in the iPhones but it is not good to see the latest iPhone 15 to have such issue as in today’s world we expect phones to be reliable for net speed. A 100 mbps speed is showing speed below 20mbps. The same SIM card is showing speed around 100 mbps on iPhone 11. 


Why Internet LTE/4G/5G is slower on iPhone 15 Pro Max :


Slow internet on iPhone 15 could be due to various reasons and usually could be due to  issue of carrier's databases not updated to recognize iPhone 15 as being able to handle high speed data yet so they default to the slowest common mode available to all devices.


Other reason could be other reasons related to carrier, such as putting iPhone 15 in the "throttled data" category because again, iPhone 15 hardware is "unknown."  and your iPhone 15 is given slow speed channels.
