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.

So is this another zwave or zigbee alternative?

Not sure about Z-Wave, but the ZigBee Alliance promotes Thread as ZigBee’s successor. A lot of Thread devices are backwards compatible with ZigBee.
