They also did the same on the Switch. There wasn’t Bluetooth for a while, so adaptors were created and sold. Then a patch came on and that market promptly died 😑
Thread is not a foundational radio. Its just a radio that matter runs pm too off. There isn’t anything injerenetly better about thread than zigbee, zwave, or any other protocol. You can mix and match radios that support matter as long as you have a hub for each different radio. The only thing good about them having all thread radios is it will create a strong thread network. The majority of smart home devices aren’t using thread. So will still need a lot of hubs if you use a lot of different brands of smarthome items
Just gotta point out that the temp and humidity sensor was probably in there to calibrate the quartz clock or other components so they probably just enabled the readings to be seen in the UI. However the iPhone example is super cool
Nintendo did this with the Switch as well. At launch, connecting Bluetooth headphones wasn’t available, but the part was still in there. After an update, Bluetooth headphones could connect because the part was already in there.
I think the reason they do this is for futureproofing. They add the internal component on it, but they’re still actually working on refining the firmware and software to make it function within iOS in the way that they want. This way they still have time to release their devices on schedule, and they also get to show new features to apple users on their next update, as a pleasant surprise.
Did you know Apple is just Huawei with an apple 🍎 logo
I wish they would announce LE Audio and auracast.
You didnt need to wear that shirt though 😒😒😒
Didn’t the switch do the same thing with bluetooth

This is honestly really shitty. Software locking features should not be ok, especially when it isn’t obvious like this.

Switch had Bluetooth for years but Nintendo forgot to turn it on 😅
I remember my first phone didn’t have video capability until we got a random update out of nowhere and I was like wth ok
Its how they keep the apple sheep from getting bored 😂
Reminder that when u buy an apple device its not yours its theirs and they allow u to do what they want u to do.

Is that the ENCE jersey?
Kinda creepy lowkey. Reminds me of the plot of Kingsman.
Ez 4 enze

I just activated my first matter device today. Almost no brain power to add it to Google Home. Now I need to look up how it works.
This is marketing
So that every year they can say there is a new feature
Same with Apple Watch it takes tons of measure but it just doesn’t display it. Then every year they can say they added this or that
Isn’t that the hollyland lark m2 microphone 😀
Now tell us what “simplepdf.pdf” is doing in Macs
I’m a software dev and the sole phrase “smart home” terifies me to death. Sorry, no. Never.
He’s so cute and smart
Don’t forget U2
Or control us
This would increase the sales of older products as well. There are geniuses working over there.
I don’t get the point, why not just keep Bluetooth on in the first place
thts a frisbee jersey
I’m pretty sure old iPhones had FM radio’s that were never used. Maybe they were just built into the chips already?
Tesla does that all the time! Thats we get new features!
I’m a really huge of you playing ultimate. Where can I get that jersey?
Where can I get that shirt? It’s awesome lol
Not for no reason. So they can manufacture more hype for their products when they need it because they have a slow year for announcements
Coz why would we get full use of the hardware we paid for? Apple hasn’t deemed us ready yet!
Congratulations on your 19M sub! 🎉
Hmm communication hidden until found 🤔
It’s kind of like Secure Folder.
