According to Ming Chi Kuo, the iPhone 15 will be the first Apple device to integrate custom components into the mixed reality headset Vision Pro. But according to 3D photography experts, Apple should only integrate chips designed to shoot space videos into iPhones starting next year. According to the Taiwanese expert, the Cupertino company has planned everything well and will surprise everyone. Conscious of the need for the AR helmet ecosystem to be put into service as soon as possible, integrate custom components into the next smartphone.

The iPhone 15 will get its share of innovations, but there is one that will likely be overlooked. According to the post posted on Twitter by Mr. Ming Chi, the new iPhone is a revised and improved U1 chip. It uses Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology to find other devices. AirDrop, Locate, or Handoff take advantage of this technology, for example, to “detect which device the user is physically pointing their phone at.”
Apple will improve the U1 chip in iPhone 15 to work better with Vision Pro
Therefore, Ming Chi Kuo claims that the iPhone 15 will qualify for an update to the UWB specifications; manufacturing process will change from 16nm to 7nmwill improve performance or reduce power consumption for close interactions”.
In the more distant future, iPhone 16 will likely be updated to Wi-Fi 7 […] and will provide a better experience in the ecosystem”. The makers of Hallide, a photography app for the iPhone, believe that the “serious business” of shooting 3D photos and videos will truly begin in 2024. Rumor has it that besides taking advantage of new cameras and innovative video features, the iPhone 16s will generally be larger.
