iPhone 15 Pro will be compatible with smart homes

Apple has made changes in the hardware of iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max so that these phones can have better support for smart home devices and networks. Both iPhone 15 Pro versions are the first smartphones that support the Thread protocol and offer the possibility of direct control of devices equipped with this technology.

Tread is a protocol for smart home wireless devices, which is designed to facilitate the communication process of these devices with each other. Smart devices can communicate with each other through the Internet regardless of their brand and manufacturer. This technology is also the main infrastructure of Matter devices, and the more devices equipped with this protocol are in a smart home, the stronger the network of that home will be.

The only device that mobile devices need to connect to the Internet and create a local network is a “border router”. Currently, it is not clear how Apple will use this technology in the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max phones, but it is expected that these phones will act as border routers like the third generation Apple TV 4K and HomePad Mini. Apple claims that the support of its new flagship phones will provide many opportunities to integrate the Home application with smart home devices.

Currently, none of the Android phones support the Crisp protocol, but according to the report of famous whistleblower Mishaal Rahman, Google plans to add support for this technology to the Android operating system. This will allow Android phones equipped with crisp technology to create a network between each other and act as a border router. Therefore, it is possible that we will see the use of this technology in Pixel phones in the future.
