As previously rumored, Apple has indeed added Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology to the new iPhone 11, using the newly designed U1 co-processor (notThe previously rumored R1), will give the phone more spatial awareness and allow it to accurately locate itself relative to other phones also equipped with the U1 co-processor.
According to Apple, the U1 co-processor can achieve a positioning range up to the size of an average living room and can make the positioning of mobile devices more accurate, so that when sharing files through the AirDrop function of the mobile phone, they can appear more accurately on the sharing list.
Judging from the positioning characteristics of the U1 co-processor, it seems to be preparing for the upcoming augmented reality applications, thereby allowing virtual reality images to have more accurate positioning and presentation effects, while also making the image presentation more stable, rather than causing jitter and floating images like previous augmented reality images due to poor positioning effects.
However, Apple has not yet revealed the rumored possible launch of a Tile-like positioning device, but it is expected that with the U1 co-processor, the new iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max will be able to achieve more accurate positioning, and will also be able to quickly find the location of the phone through "Find My".
