EOS R6 Wi-Fi Transfer Painfully Slow

Firmware 1.7.0 (Latest ver)
Canon Camera Connect (Latest ver from Apple App Store)
iPhone 14 with iOS 16.2 (Latest OS ver)
iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 15.7.2
iPad Air 5 with iOS 16.2 (Latest OS ver)

1. Painfully slow when transferring images in the app via Wi-Fi.

It does NOT reaches 2.4G Wi-Fi 4 speed at all. It's slow like a modem 30 years ago.

To transfer one 6MB jpeg image, it needs to take about 1 minute. SOOOOO SLOOOOW.

2. My previous EOS RP ( which I replaced with R6) was faster than this new R6. (it reaches 2.4G Wi-Fi 4 speed)

3. It seems to be fast on Android. (it reaches 2.4G Wi-Fi 4 speed)

4. It was faster before. (it reaches 2.4G Wi-Fi 4 speed)

My suspicion:
1. Latest 1.7 firmware broke it
2. Latest iOS App ruined it. (They did a revamp recently)
3. Canon slowed it deliberately to promote R6 II's faster 5G Wi-Fi 5.

Please comment if you have been experiencing the same issue.
