Apple recently held WWDC 2023 wherein the brand not only announced major software updates but also showcased its biggest leap forward- Apple Reality Vision Pro Headset. It is an AR/VR headset that aims to give spatial computing a new dimension. Now, with the new headset, there will be some notable changes made to the upcoming iPhone Series as well for ensuring seamless integration.

iPhone 15 & 16 Series to get Vision Pro Integration

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the Cupertino-based giant is working on modifying iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 Series to seamlessly integrate with Vision Pro Headset. To ensure this, Apple will bring hardware updates to its upcoming iPhone series.

Kuo stated that Apple is planning to bring WiFi 7 and Ultra-Wideband technology to its iPhone 15 and 16 models. This would help them work better with the new Vision Pro Headset. This is not surprising as Apple always focuses on seamlessly connecting all its products across multiple platforms, ranging from iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, AirPods, watches, and more. This helps in creating an ios ecosystem that makes life more convenient.

iPhone 15 will arrive with an upgraded Ultra-wideband chip to give a robust and seamless connection with the recently launched headset from Apple. The new iPhones will have an upgraded U1 chipset which would help bring upgrades to various existing features as well like AirDrop, Find My Phone, and more.

The primary benefit of this U1 chip will be seamless integration with the Vision Pro headset. iPhone 16 will come with WiFi 7 for faster speeds and other benefits and will be crucial for virtual and augmented reality experiences.

Speaking of both the 2023 and 2024 iPhone releases, Ming-Chi Kuo says, “Apple will aggressively upgrade hardware specifications to build a more competitive ecosystem for Vision Pro.”

More will be known as the iPhone 15 launch month gets closer.
