Apple's iPhone 15 line-up will use an updated version of the company's Ultra-Wideband (UWB) chip according to predictions from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. This will reportedly improve integration with the upcoming mixed reality headset, Vision Pro.
The Cupertino technology giant has been using a UWB chipset in smartphones since iPhone 11 and the new version of the chipset, reportedly called U2 will be moving to a 7nm process, improving performance and efficiency.

Apple has used the chipset in the previous smartphones to enable features such as Handoff, which lets you seamlessly transition your work between Apple devices, Precision Finding and AirDrop.
The main goal of the new chipset would be to facilitate deeper integration with Apple's Vision Pro headset, and the company is betting big on deep integration with its hardware ecosystem.
That's not where the predictions stop, after the iPhone 15, Apple will upgrade the iPhone 16 with the Wi-Fi 7 standard to provide a better suite of features for Apple's hardware products running on the same local network.
