Mystery wireless Apple device goes through FCC testing for a third time

My guess is that these are for installation in Apple Campus 2. RS-485 is used for lots of things, but building automation makes the most sense to me. They are going to need a very large number of badge readers in their new campus. It makes no sense for them to limit themselves to the standard controllers. Using devices with NFC would allow them to use iPhones, Apple Watches, as well as passive devices. The Bluetooth LE would be seen by the devices to know where they are in the building and other cool features. It would allow Apple to control the innovation platform for their building automation. They have enough facilities around the world to justify making their own.
Agreed. Badge readers is an obvious use case, but it could be used for almost any building automation they desire. For mobile employees we have badged lockers on campus. You can easily innovate for all of these scenarios. Especially if ALL of your employees iPhones and Apple Watches. -
