With the approaching launch of the iPhone, what is the feature of “Near Interactions”?
Apple developers got a new Near Interactions feature, in iOS 16 for phones Iphoneduring the WWDC exhibition last month.
Near Interactions lets third-party smart devices talk to Apple’s U1 Ultra Wide Widescreen (UWB) chips in the background for a new user’s hands-free workout — making things like activating a light bulb when you walk past it possible.
Developers can take advantage of precise, real-time location triggers with the new framework, and chip makers can obtain MFi certification for interoperability with the U1, which chip maker Qorvo did this week.
“Our broad portfolio of UWB chips, modules, and software will help accelerate the ecosystem of connected UWB products and accessories,” Eric Creviston, Qorvo Mobile Head of Products, explained in a press release.
The company has been MFi certified for the Impulse Radio UWB’s DW3110 built-in wireless transceiver, so other companies can now purchase this chip to integrate into their own accessories and use Apple’s nearby interactions.
On some Apple devices, the U1 chip can act as a very local GPS locator, and it currently works with things like finding your keys on the couch with AirTags, unlocking cars, sharing files via AirDrop by pointing your iPhone to your friends, and handing Now play a song on the HomePod while the Jedi hovers your iPhone over it.
The U1 chip is now built into the iPhone 11 and later, Apple Watch Series 6 and later, AirTags, and HomePod mini — a changer that’s available via the Apple TV remote control and iPad Pro.
