Apple has been among the trendsetters in the world of technology for many years, and although some say that it has been losing steam in recent years, some of its solutions are still a step ahead of the competition. It is precisely for this reason that it is in a way a pity that their usability is not greater, as they really have a huge potential, but they are used Applem only in a handful of devices. A great example are the U1 or U2 chips, which Apple used since 2019 in iPhonech a Apple Watch and later he put them in AirTags. These currently serve primarily for better device localization, as their main strength lies in the very precise determination of position relative to other devices equipped with the same chip. This is where they could be used much more, for example in the Smart sector. Home.

Just imagine. You move around your home with iPhonein my pocket, or rather Apple Watch on your hands and light bulbs, sockets or any other Smart Home Thanks to the integration with the U1 or U2 chip, the elements respond to you by triggering scenes, automation or simply turning them on and off. The sensitivity of such a solution would be absolutely unrivaled, because the U chips communicating with each other would be able to trigger these actions with an accuracy of less than tens of centimeters. And thanks to the connection of the entire solution with HomeKitIt would also be possible to set certain scenes to work only with certain household members and their devices, so that, for example, the study would automatically unlock only for you, while not for the children. In short, the possibilities are extremely wide and undoubtedly tempting for a fan of the smart home. As is already the case with Smart Home As is usually the case, in addition to smart solutions, the vast majority of things can also be controlled in a "dumb" way, so such an installation would not necessarily be limiting. And it should not be forgotten that an invitation to Smart Home could just be AirA tag for a few hundred that you could lend to your guest so they could enjoy the scenes set up just for them.

So what is the fundamental snag that we are talking about in the article? Simply that he is not familiar with the world of Smart Home obviously doesn't want to, as it currently doesn't offer any other smart home solution except HomePodů a do jisté míry Apple TV. Until they expand their portfolio and other products that would be able to communicate with each other at a significantly higher level than the competition now, the world of smart homes will not conquer. However, it is worth adding in the same breath that he has been quietly working on smart home products, led by light bulbs, sockets or locks, according to leaks from the past, and also that, given his financial capabilities, he can easily buy one of the leading manufacturers of Smart Home products, then equip their products with their technologies and thus almost immediately come to the forefront. Whether this will happen or not, only time will tell, but honestly we would not be too surprised. Time moves forward and modern technologies are increasingly felt in it.
