How Apple Is Quietly Building a Next-Gen GPS Alternative
from Mac and Apple with Fexingo: macOS, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Ecosystem Conversations · host Fexingo
Apple is assembling a team to build a precise location system that doesn't rely on GPS. Lucas and Luna explore the problem with GPS in dense cities and indoors, how Apple has been laying groundwork with Wi-Fi triangulation, UWB chips, and inertial sensors, and what a next-gen location fabric could mean for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and even autonomous vehicles. Specific focus on Apple's patent filings and hiring for a 'massively scalable positioning system' and the potential acquisition of a satellite-positioning startup. No speculation on unreleased products; just connecting dots on the strategic trajectory. #Apple #GPS #LocationServices #UWB #WiFiTriangulation #IndoorMapping #AutonomousVehicles #AppleWatch #iPhone #PatentAnalysis #Acquisition #Technology #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #NextGenGPS #SpatialComputing Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
