Apparently. Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra has Wi-Fi 7 support [1]. Apple's AirPort Extreme (6th gen) came out in June 2023 and supported draft 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5), while the standard itself seemed to have been finalized in late 2023 [3]. [1]

I have my adblock on for targeted ads. I believe the lengths that these companies go through to profile you to serve you ads are terribly invasive. Even if you pay for YT Premium, the tracking does not stop: https://mastodon.soci
