Look up Apple's H1 and W1 chips. They improved it while remaining "Bluetooth compatible". Bluetooth has too big of a name recognition to just go your own way. Thousands of popular products.

Having said all that, BLE is an amazing technology and is improving slowly. You can track your dog or purse or car anywhere in the world, all using a CR2032 coin cell battery that will last for years. It provides your phone with an easy e

I'm pretty sure Apple got some tweaks put into the Bluetooth chips they use to help out with some of the connection reliability issues. Put in at the bare metal level before the stack so as to avoid breaking the "standard".

Once you can complete a feedback loop, things will get very strange very fast. You will be able to visualize your own nightmares when you are awake.

The small packet size is what is constraining BLE in the energy consumption comparison. It really wasn't meant for continuously streaming music. When advertising every few seconds, like an Apple AirTag does, the energy usage averages

Fair use: 7.1 Conclusions The purpose of this study was to research and investigate the potential existence of a breaking point where BLE becomes less efficient than BR/EDR in terms of energy consumption. The results from the conducte

Yes, for now the internet is necessary to bridge all the gaps. But you can cover a 300 meter radius on each internet connection. If the miner could pay each household for that coverage, it's a splendid idea - being able to grab informa

The iPhone forces Apple Music to self-start if nothing else is using the speaker when you auto-connect with a car Bluetooth system. Kind of like how Windows 10 forces you to use Microsoft Edge as a pdf viewer no matter how many times you sw

I don't disagree with you, but Russia IS firing the 3M22 Zircon from nuclear subs now. At Mach 9, that's about 2-3 minutes to impact DC. And everyone knows, first strike, best strike. Putin would survive.

Russia already has hypersonic. And there is no realistic defense against them. They scare the crap out of DC because a Russian sub could pop up off the coast of New Jersey and 5 million people including 99% of all US politicians would be
