Integration of Vision Pro
In a series of tweets, Kuo hinted that Apple will make certain upgrades to its hardware to “to build a more competitive ecosystem for Vision Pro.”
As per Kuo, “the ecosystem is one of the key success factors for Vision Pro, including the integration with other Apple hardware products, and related main hardware specifications are Wi-Fi and UWB.”
Kuo also said that UWB chip found in existing iPhones will also get an upgrade. The idea is to improve the performance as well as reduce power consumption for interaction with nearby devices.
“iPhone 15 will likely see an specification upgrade of UWB, with the production process moving from 16nm to more advanced 7nm, allowing for improved performance or reduced power consumption for nearby Interactions,” he said in a series of tweets.
Also, Apple is expected to keep the same Wi-Fi standard for the iPhone 15 series. However, Kuo believes that next year — the rumoured iPhone 16 — could get upgraded Wi-Fi standard. “iPhone 16 will likely upgrade to Wi-Fi 7, which will be more conducive to Apple’s integration of hardware products running on the same local network and provide a better ecosystem experience,” he added in the tweet.
It is expected that the iPhone 15 series will be unveiled in September later this year. As per rumours, Apple will stick to launching four new models in 2023 as well.
