what's the "base" WiFi capability one would feel comfortable
assuming? ac? ax?
Assuming you're limiting the question to the set of cellphones that
actually implement wifi, 802.11b ... but what are you *REALLY* trying to
ask for?
There are several different "generations" of WiFi, each with
different effective (data) bandwidths.

The most commonly referenced include: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g,
802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax and, most recently, 802.11be. The

and ax is ~2020. Does this suggest that any phone made

should cover "most" phones now in use -- should be "ax"?]
No. /FLAGSHIP/ models certainly have a high chance of supporting
802.11ax, but that doesn't mean "any" phone.

But, in practice, most phones support something more capable
than 802.11b -- just like most enets support something more
capable than 10BaseT/2.
Designing for the lowest POSSIBLE vs. LIKELY means unnecessarilyWhich is why you toss in an 802.11ax AP (or 802.11ac, if the ax units
