Apple developers got a taste of iOS 16\u2019s new Nearby Interactions feature<\/a> at WWDC last month that lets third-party smart devices talk to Apple\u2019s ultra-wideband (UWB) U1 chips in the background for \u201cnew hands-free user experiences\u201d \u2014 making things like activating a light bulb when just walking by it possible. Developers can take advantage of the real-time, precise location triggers with the new framework, and chipset makers can seek MFi certification for interoperability with U1, something that chip manufacturer Qorvo did this week<\/a> (via MacRumors<\/em><\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cOur extensive portfolio of UWB chips, modules and software will help accelerate the ecosystem of connected UWB products and accessories,\u201d said Qorvo Mobile products president Eric Creviston in a press release<\/a>. The company was awarded MFi certification for its DW3110 integrated Impulse Radio UWB wireless transceiver, so now other companies can buy this chip<\/a> to integrate it into their own accessories and use Apple\u2019s Nearby Interactions.<\/p>\n

The U1 chip in certain Apple devices can function as a highly localized GPS locator and currently works with things like finding your keys<\/a> in the sofa with AirTags, unlocking cars<\/a>, sharing files via AirDrop by aiming your iPhone at your friends<\/a>, and handing off a Now Playing song to your HomePod<\/a> as you Jedi-wave your iPhone over it. The U1 chip is currently integrated into iPhone 11 and newer (though not including the iPhone SE series), Apple Watch Series 6 and newer, AirTags, and the HomePod mini \u2014 and notably missing<\/a> from the Apple TV remote and the iPad Pros.<\/p>\n

Apple isn\u2019t the only company doing things with UWB: smart tracker pioneer Tile is working on UWB trackers<\/a> to combat Apple\u2019s AirTags, as well as Samsung with its Galaxy SmartTags<\/a>. Tesla is also reportedly looking to integrate UWB into its electric cars<\/a>, though it\u2019s doubtful the automaker (or any of Apple\u2019s competitors, for that matter) would pursue Nearby Interactions that could maybe Smart Summon your car automatically as you walk out of your private jet<\/a> (and maybe that\u2019s a good thing).<\/p>\n
