Apple has added a new document to its patent portfolio. It describes technology that will replace existing solutions that help determine the location of the iPhone and Apple Watch.
At the moment, GPS is used in conjunction with Wi-Fi, cellular, Bluetooth and NFC tags to determine the position of the device. All this allows you to accurately establish the location of the gadget. However, existing technologies do not always work. It is for this reason that the Coopertinos thought about the alternative.
The technology described in the patent will allow the location of the device to be determined based on environmental assessment. A special sensor will assess the composition of the air, memorize this data. In the future, the system will accurately determine the position of the device in space on the basis of the composition of the air.
As usual, there is currently no specific information about when Apple plans to introduce such a sensor into its devices. It is possible that such development will never be realized in the “iron”.
