Apple’s Find My network will get even better with new technology in Bluetooth 6.0

Apple’s ‘Find My’ app
Apple’s vast, global, and secure Find My network helps users locate and keep track of even more important items in their lives using the Find My app and, now, with Bluetooth 6.0, it’s poised to get even better! Filipe Espósito for 9to5Mac: The Bluetooth SIG has published an article (via BGR) detailing everything that’s new about Bluetooth 6.0. One of the highlights is Bluetooth Channel Sounding, which is described as an innovation that brings “true distance awareness.” The description is quite clear in saying that “Find My solutions can be greatly improved” with Bluetooth 6.0, as it unlocks “centimeter-level accuracy over considerable distances.” In other words, Bluetooth 6.0 is expected to provide the exact distance between devices. Since Apple’s Find My network is based on Bluetooth, having an improved distance awareness technology will certainly help users find their lost devices more easily. Apple currently relies on ultra-wideband technology to precisely measure the distance between devices. It enables the Precision Finding feature for iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirTag users. MacDailyNews Take: This will take awhile, perhaps a year or longer, for Bluetooth 6.0 to come to new Apple devices, but, when it does, Find My will become even more precise!
