The Cupertino company has been strongly criticized (and when is it not?) Because in theory, for many, the new features of iOS 15 are totally insufficient. However, now is the time to focus on the current iOS implementations that represent a real breakthrough in technology.
With iOS 15, your iPhone can be located even if it has been turned off and the SIM card removed, however, not all iPhones will be compatible.. Let’s take a look at this technology that Apple has implemented on the iPhone with the arrival of iOS 15 and especially if you will be able to benefit from it or not.
All of this is based on Apple’s Ultra Wideband (UWB), the same technology that is used in the AirTag and that allows us to locate it despite the fact that it does not have any type of wireless technology other than simple Bluetooth Low Energy. Now your iPhone with iOS 15 will basically work like an AirTag, meaning that you can locate it even if it has lost connection to the network or if it is turned off, at least as long as it is. remains a minimum part of the battery.
The problem is that only iPhone 11 and later devices will be supported. As we said, if there are other devices with Ultra Wideband technology nearby, it will be possible to locate the iPhone, since a location mesh network will be created. This Apple technology makes interesting how we can gain extra security, thieves will think a lot more about it when they steal an iPhone if Apple continues to implement this kind of technology as the benefit for them will be minimal.
