  • Apple's new iPhone SE doesn't have a U1 Ultra Wideband chip

    Is it a co-incidence that the latest iPad Pro and latest iPhone both don’t have the chip. These products are at different ends of the budget spectrum - most expensive iPad and cheapest phone. To me that looks like the U1 is dead and won’t be seen ever again. Or the cost/supply constraints are so very high that getting them into anything other than iPhone 11 is unfeasible. And that seems u likely. 

    So why would Apple have suddenly ditched U1?  Is it that they don’t want to be forced to open it to 3rd parties?  Is it the lawsuits?  They wouldn’t remove it from an existing product - but by not including it in new ones they are signalling a change of direction and can show
    courts that.
    Or perhaps the theories that the U1 is causing too much interference with Bluetooth to function properly are true.
