Apple’s iPhone 15 will likely see an specification upgrade of ultra wideband (UWB), with the production process moving from 16nm to more advanced 7nm and, in 2024, iPhone 16 is likely to upgrade to Wi-Fi 7, according to TF International Securities’ analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Apple will aggressively upgrade hardware specifications to build a more competitive ecosystem for Vision Pro
1. The ecosystem is one of the key success factors for Vision Pro, including the integration with other Apple hardware products, and related main hardware specifications are Wi-Fi and UWB.
2. iPhone 15 will likely see an specification upgrade of UWB, with the production process moving from 16nm to more advanced 7nm, allowing for improved performance or reduced power consumption for nearby Interactions.
3. iPhone 16 will likely upgrade to Wi-Fi 7, which will be more conducive to Apple’s integration of hardware products running on the same local network and provide a better ecosystem experience.
JCET’s 2H23 gross margin/profit will benefit from the iPhone 15 UWB process upgrade… iPhone 15’s UWB production process will be upgraded from 16nm to more advanced 7nm. JCET is the back-end SiP supplier, and this upgrade will help improve profits. Generally speaking, when 16nm is upgraded to the more advanced 7nm, the profit margin of the back-end process can increase by more than 10-20%.
According to the Wi-Fi Alliance, Wi-Fi could offer peak data rates of more than 40Gbps, making it up to four times faster than Wi-Fi 6 And Wi-Fi 6E, and nearly six times faster than Wi-Fi 5.
In addition to those impressively fast speeds, Wi-Fi 7 will also introduce something called Multi-Link Operation technology. This will allow devices to simultaneously send and receive data over multiple radio bands. One of the biggest changes is an increase in the number of multi-user MIMO (multi-user, multiple input, multiple output) streams, doubling from eight to 16.
The best way to explain these changes without getting too technical is that they dramatically reduce latency.

I’m hoping Apple makes an iPhone Ultra (separate from Pro and Pro Max) that allows for taking 3D videos for the Vision Pro. Also hoping it’ll be thinner, lighter, with more of a unibody enclosure, and without any ports. I’m ready for the future!
Yes revive the Apple Airport with the new WI-FI standard and if in a area that only one internet provider ( like I have it is Comcast) and create a new OS maybe can be called AirOS or AirportOS Maybe on Apple Silicon.
