They have the hardware to use Wifi 7, but the software is artificially blocking the phones from using it.

 
S23 and S23+ don't have the hardware to use Wifi 7, and the S25 and S25+ do have the hardware and can use it. The S24 and S24+ have the hardware, but can't use it due to software restrictions. Why those restrictions are there, I'm not sure. Parity with non-US S24's?

      If Samsung nerfed the functionality on US Snapdragon devices (because the Exynos 2400 doesn't support WiFi 7) when the phones were released, why would they enable it now?

      Not sure a option to add features to previous models would work

      Could you elaborate on that? The S24 series is still fairly new.

      Didn't say it was old just that if model y has a feature don't see earlier models getting same features well within reason anyway

      The Ultra didn't have the same [artificial] limitation as the base or plus models.
