Apple’s new iPhone 15 will feature at least one new upgrade aimed at the upcoming Vision Pro headset, according to a report. The new iPhone is due out in September, and Apple has said little about it. But as the release nears, more reports are leaking out from the company’s supply chain that indicate its features. One of those may be a new “ultra wide band” or UWB chip that is looking ahead to Apple’s Vision Pro, according to a new report from reputable analyst Ming-chi Kuo. The chip will allow the phone and the headset to be able to work together, he suggested, as part of a “more competitive ecosystem”. “The ecosystem is one of the key success factors for Vision Pro, including the integration with other Apple hardware products, and related main hardware specifications are Wi-Fi and UWB,” he wrote on a post on Twitter. “iPhone 15 will likely see an specification upgrade of UWB, with the production process moving from 16nm to more advanced 7nm, allowing for improved performance or reduced power consumption for nearby Interactions.” The U1 chip is used give the iPhone and other devices better spatial awareness, so that they can find other objects more precisely. It is not clear what features that integration may provide for either the iPhone or the Vision Pro. Mr Kuo’s reports tend to focus on leaks from Apple’s hardware pipeline, rather than its software, so tend to reveal more about the physical nature of a product rather than how exactly it will be used. Apple’s U1 UWB chip first arrived in the iPhone 11, and has been in every iPhone since. It has rolled out more widely, to the Watch and HomePod as well as the AirTags and AirPods Pro. Initially, it was somewhat unclear what Apple intended to the U1 chip to do. But over time it released a number of products – such as those AirTags and AirPods Pro – which can be found with the phone, and rely on the UWB for more precise location. Mr Kuo also indicated that next year’s phone, the iPhone 16, will come with a new WiFi chip that will be “more conducive to Apple’s integration of hardware products running on the same local network and provide a better ecosystem experience”.

Car salesman based in Arizona Andy Elliot is going viral due to his unusual hiring requirement - all his employees need a six pack. He went viral on social media after a video of him sharing his standards for his employees at a conference was posted to Instagram. Speaking to an audience at the conference he says, “my entire team, if you don’t have a six pack , you don’t work for us. […] it’s called a standard. How about we raise them?” The video has over 88,000 likes, but the majority of comments took to mocking Elliot for his hiring method. One user wrote, “can’t work for me if you’re bald. Grow hair or get out,” for context, Elliot is bald. “Absolute cringe. I cringe every time this guy shows up on my feed,” wrote another. “Such an awful opinion,” said a different user. In a statement to the New York Post, Elliot clarified his words, “it’s not that we don’t hire anybody with a six-pack,” he explained. “We just have a standard that says if you’re gonna be a mentor to others in our company you’re gonna be your standard.” Elliot also seemingly is unbothered by those who disagree with him. “I mean, those are people sitting in their mom’s basement, you know, commenting or by the the way, or they’re people that are sitting there wishing they could kill it in life, just making excuses and not taking action,” he said.
