Hilarious. This is exactly what Amazon Sidewalk intends to be. Apple has fallen ass backwards into an IoT killer app, but just don’t know it yet...

  Sidewalk's bandwidth and latency is a little better than this, though.

    Sidewalk also has the advantage of mostly being home internet connection instead of metered wireless plans

      I’m probably on some sort of wifi on my phone like 90% of the time.

      Sidewalk is also connected to grid power, and the backbone consumer devices are in fixed locations. I don’t see grid vs battery or fixed/mobile device locations as necessary advantages or disadvantages though. For example, the FindMy network would continue to work even in power outage scenarios like parts of the country experienced in Feb 2021.

  do they not know it or are they just not talking about how they plan to capitalize on it yet?
