Ultra Wideband in iPhone 15
The Ultra Wideband (UWB) feature in iPhone 15 has received a significant improvement with the introduction of a new U2 chip. This chip replaces the previous U1 chip that has been in use since the release of iPhone 11. The new U2 chip is manufactured using a more advanced 7nm process, which offers better performance and power efficiency compared to its predecessor, which was manufactured using a 16nm process.
The main improvements that the new UWB chip brings include more accurate location detection and improved interaction with other Apple devices equipped with the chip. This is particularly useful for features such as Find My and Precision Finding, which allow you to quickly find lost devices and track their location with high accuracy.
In addition, the new U2 chip plays a key role in integrating the iPhone 15 with Apple’s Vision Pro headset, which will be used for augmented reality. This will create a closer ecosystem between different Apple devices, improving the overall user experience and expanding the use of UWB technology in everyday life.
As such, iPhone 15 with the new UWB chip offers users more accurate and efficient location, improved connectivity with other devices and enhanced interaction with new Apple products such as Vision Pro.
