Nothing needs to be replaced, it's all in the standard, and Apple just needs to support it.
Every dumbphone around 2005 was able to share, and receive files, use HID devices, and put a lot of context to things like remote control info.
Apple famously was unable to get proper BT keyboard support for 5 years. Nor still it supports OBEX.

- baybal2 5y agoThe speed of Bluetooth is also a solved issue by an alternative PHY mode. It works, it's a solved issue. And if Apple wanted more bandwidth, at lower power, they had just to put lawyers to destroy UWB patent trolls.
