The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature a built-in Thread radio, which is a first for any smartphone. Here's why that matters.
The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max will have built-in Thread radio, so they can directly communicate with smart home devices.
Old iPhones could probably be used as a smart home hub.
I think this the most interesting update of the event.
For everyone else here who thought this had to do with Threads and wonder what Apple was thinking dealing with Meta like that:
Thread is a wireless smart home protocol designed to help your smart home devices talk to each other faster and more efficiently. Thread devices can connect to the internet and each other regardless of their brand and manufacturer. It is also the main infrastructure for Matter devices since it is designed with smart home meshes in mind. The more Thread-supported products you own, the stronger your smart home network becomes.
