Apple devices currently rely on the U1 ultra-wideband chip, starting with the iPhone 11. It also integrates AirTag, AirPods Pro’s charging case, and even smartwatches from Apple Watch Series 6.
The chip already works well with features like AirDrop, Handoff, Precision Finding and Find My. However, updating the UWB chip to be more compatible with the Vision Pro is receiving criticism. There are those who argue that the gadget is too expensive for regular users to pay for this integration.
Apple’s augmented reality glasses will launch for around US$3.5k, or R$13.7k at current pricing. However, there is a rumor that Apple is working on a more affordable model.
