How Apple Is Quietly Building a Next-Gen Find My Network

Apple's Find My network already helps locate lost devices and AirTags, but the company is quietly expanding it into a next-generation precision finding system using ultra-wideband chips in iPhones, iPads, and Macs. In this episode, Lucas explains how Apple is turning every U1-equipped device into a passive location beacon, improving accuracy from room-level to centimeter-level, and enabling new use cases like indoor mapping for airports and museums. Luna questions the privacy trade-offs of a denser tracking mesh, and they discuss how this could compete with Google's Fused Location Provider and gain Apple a foothold in augmented reality. Specific numbers: the new network could cover over 1 billion devices by 2027, and Apple's UWB chip costs under $2 per device. A concrete case: Apple's partnership with 15 major US airports for indoor Find My navigation, launching later this year. #Apple #FindMy #UltraWideband #UWB #LocationTracking #Privacy #IndoorMapping #AugmentedReality #AirTags #iPhone #iPad #Mac #Technology #Business #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
