Both my laptop—a Retina MacBook Pro—and phone—an iPhone 6—support 802.11ac wireless and my router, an AirPort Time Capsule, also support 802.11ac wireless.
The speed I get on laptop is about 70 to 80 Mbps but the speed I get on the phone is between 10 to 35 Mbps. So I was wondering if it is an issue with the devices?

Apparently there are a lot of folks having issues with IOS 8 and slower than expected WiFi speeds. Here are a couple things you can try:
Disable Wi-FI Networking Services at > Privacy > Location Services > System Services. This only relates to your location being used for Wi-Fi Networking, so it doesn’t disable Wi-Fi entirely.
Reset Network Settings. Resetting these settings flushes caches and clears DHCP settings and other networking related info. To reset network settings, open the Settings app and navigate to Settings > General > Reset and tap on Reset Network Settings.
