It's an interesting interview opening by throwing out the second half of the headline and the first half of the headline only being a footnote at the end.
It's obvious that Apple has been making moves to their own PAN solution for years (look at the unused UWB stuff).
I think it would be cool if HRTF options were exposed to the user. Most people don't care, but I would find it fun to play around with speaker positions and simulated room size.

- willis936 5y agoThey've been moving more in this direction without advertising it. If you're willing to dive into depths of the settings and shortcut apps you'll find there are lots of new things possible inside the walled garden. It's the natural progression when there is a more open competitor: if you want to keep your walled garden relevant you need to keep the alternatives less alluring.
- jdavis703 5y agoLook at Exposure Notifications. They basically make all the data available that they can, even though it’s unintelligible to average users. The experience only gets crummy when they open a web view to the relevant state-level health authority.
- ericlewis 5y agoNot sure I would categorize UWB as unused since it powers features in AirDrop as well as AirTag.
- willis936 5y agoAfaik the UWB is currently only used for location and not as a data channel.
