The iPhone 15 will improve a component that could be key for them to work better with the Apple Vision Pro.
Apple has announced one of its most innovative and groundbreaking products in recent years and intends for it to integrate seamlessly into its ecosystem, starting with the next iPhone 15. The next iPhone 15 will have a special chip to integrate perfectly with the Apple Vison Proas reported by the expert analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple is expected to introduce its iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max to mid septemberwhile the Apple Vision Pro will not hit the market until early 2024.
The iPhone 15 will be the first to have technology for the Apple Vision Pro
Although the Apple Vision Pro are a completely independent devicewhich does not need any other to work, Kuo says that one of its strengths must be its integration into the ecosystem of Apple devices.
And for that, the iPhone 15 will incorporate a new ultra-wideband chip (UWB). Apple has been using this technology for several years with what is known as the U1 chip, which seems to improve considerably in the iPhone 15.
Apple將積極升級硬體產品規格以建構更有競爭力的Vision Pro生態
1. Vision Pro的成功關鍵之一在於生態,當中包括能否與其他Apple硬體產品整合,而與此相關的主要硬體規格為Wi-Fi與UWB。
2. iPhone 15採用的UWB將規格升級,生產製程由16nm升級到更先進的7nm,有利近距離互動的效能提升或降低耗電。…

1- One of the keys to the success of Vision Pro lies in the ecosystem, even if it can be integrated with other Apple hardware products, and the main hardware specifications related to this are Wi-Fi and UWB (Ultra Wide Band).
2- The UWB used in the iPhone 15 has improved its specifications, and the production process has been upgraded from 16nm to the most advanced 7nm, which leads to better short-range interaction performance or lower power consumption.
3- iPhone 16 can be upgraded to Wi-Fi 7, which will be more conducive to the integration of Apple hardware products in the same area network and provide a better green experience.
He Apple’s U1 chip arrived with the iPhone 11 and it has been included in all iPhone models since then. It is a chip that we also have present in Apple AirTag, Apple Watch Series 6 and later models, HomePod mini, the second generation HomePod and the charging case of the second generation AirPods Pro.
The U1 chip has numerous uses, but basically it is a chip that allows you to position devices that are nearby. This is something that could be interesting for Vision Pro and Kuo believes that an updated version of the U1 chip will improve performance and allow things to be done neatly with Apple’s glasses.
