The iPhone 11 features a U1 chip, a chip that operates in 6 to 8 GHz optical bands locate the device whether it is battery-powered or turned off, it correctly detects nearby devices when it comes to sharing content with AirDrop and will be an integral part of the tags that Apple plans to launch, at some point of the year, called AirTags.
Since the iPhone 11 was the last iOS-powered model to be introduced in the market, it is possible, other iOS-managed devices also install it traditional, but it seems not. Most of these rumors pointed to this possibility, rumors follow the idea that it currently looks like Apple hasn't followed through.
Considering the following points, everything seems to indicate that this is the chip is out of the new generation of iPad Pro 2020, so rumors pointing to the new IP Pro by 2020 at the end of the year with a mini-LED screen, are still catching up:
- At the time of the cuts to be made by the iFixit boys, they found no evidence to suggest the existence of this new U1 chip, although they said they would continue the investigation on the mother board.
- In an iPhone 11 specification, Apple confirms the presence of the U1 chip, details not available in the iPad Pro 2020 specification.
- Within iOS 13.4 configuration, it is not possible to disable the U1 chip.
- Data listed on the FCC tab, shows that the operating frequency of the iPad Pro 2020 is 5 GHZ (U1 chip works between 6 and 8 GHz)
The reason why Apple might not launch this chip is unknown, but perhaps, you will have strong reasons for being inappropriate. If the main reason is to introduce the new iPad Pro by 2020, I don't think users who buy this new model will see it with the best of eyes.
