UWB

Ming-Chi Kuo delivered his latest investor note with some interesting predictions on the upcoming iPhones. The iPhone 15 lineup will feature a new, upgraded ultra-wideband chip that will improve the integration with the Vision Pro headset. Apple has used the same U1 UWB chip since the iPhone 11. Per Kuo, the U2 will make the move from 16nm (on the U1) to 7nm, improving performance and power consumption. Apple's U1 chip is also in the Watch Series 6 and newer, the HomePod mini, the second-gen HomePod, the new AirPods…

The upcoming Apple iPhone 15 is set to get a major upgrade. In the form of a newly upgraded ultrawide band chip. No, this isn’t going to give you better 5G speeds or reception, this is a different form of ultrawide band, which Ming-Chi Kuo says will be included to allow for better optimized integration with the new Vision Pro headset. Kuo also mentioned the that this new UWB chip would move from the 16nm process, down to a much more advanced 7nm process. This is going to allow for improved performance or reduced power…

iPhone 15 upgraded UWB chip Apple launched the Vision Pro headset at WWDC earlier this month. Just like other Apple devices, the Vision Pro is also part of Apple’s ecosystem. But for a better and experience, the company plans to ‘aggressively’ upgrade the hardware in other devices, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Among these, the key hardware that will help ensure seamless connectivity with the Vision Pro and other Apple devices is connectivity through Wi-Fi and UWB.  Starting with the iPhone 15, Apple plans to upgrade…

iPhone 15 — the purported successor to the iPhone 14 series of smartphones — is expected to be unveiled later this year. This year, Apple is rumoured to introduce notable hardware changes such as the inclusion of a USB Type-C charging port and faster wireless charging without MagSafe. Now, a market analyst has claimed that Apple will equip its next-generation iPhone models with a new version of its ultra-wideband chip that could help if integrate better with the Apple Vision Pro, the company's first mixed reality headset…

CloseGoogle is expected to announce multiple hardware and software improvements at its annual developer conference. The Google I/O 2023 event is scheduled to be held on May 10. During this event, the tech giant is likely to unveil the Pixel 7a mid-range smartphone and the Android 14 operating system. Apart from this, the company is also rumoured to debut the Pixel Tablet at the event. This much-anticipated tablet was teased by Google during last year's I/O 2022 conference. However, the Pixel Tablet is yet to get a release…

Google will seemingly equip its first-gen Pixel Tablet with Ultra Wideband (UWB) connectivity. The information comes through an FCC certification. The American regulatory body recently certified an unannounced Google product bearing the model number GTU8P. While the accompanying documents don’t explicitly name the Pixel Tablet, there are enough clues for us to make a calculated guess.The said FCC certification listing of the new Made by Google “wireless device” contains a document describing the location of the e-label.…

Samsung has unveiled its first UWB chip, the Exynos Connect U100. And with this new chip, the South Korean firm has also announced its Exynos Connect branding for semiconductor chips that offer short-range wireless connectivity such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and UWB. We expect more such wireless connectivity chips to be added to the Exynos Connect lineup in the future. Exynos Connect U100 has single-digit centimeter accuracy Exynos Connect U100 offers UWB connectivity with single-digit centimeter accuracy and precise…

The most popular use of UWB is Apple's AirTag tracker. CNETUWB -- short for ultra-wideband -- is a low-energy, short-range radio technology that's been around for a couple of decades (it went under the name "pulse radio" for a while). UWB makes use of super-fast signal pulses (anything up to over a billion a second) broadcast across a wide swathe of the radio spectrum (from 500MHz to several gigahertz). This allows it to avoid the interference issues that plague other technologies, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.Also:…

Jason Cipriani/ZDNETUWB stands for Ultra Wide Band and is used as a short-range wireless communication protocol that's used to track the location of objects. UWB works by calculating locations within less than half an inch by measuring how long it takes short radio pulses to travel between one device and another.  UWB was originally designed as a means to transfer data but its ability to track very precise positioning has made it quite useful for modern devices. Also: Flipper Zero: Geeky toy or serious security…
