Apple Testing Li-Fi Technology For iPhone
Since it was first introduced two years ago, Li-Fi technology immediately attracts attention, because it is claimed to offer the speed is super fast. When tested, Li-Fi is able to record data transfer speeds of up to 224 GB / sec.
That means, the speed equivalent to 18 movies we download Blu-Ray HD quality in just 1 second. With these speeds, Li-Fi technology will be able to work with a speed of 1 GB per second, or 100 times the speed of a Wi-Fi network at this time.
Unlike the Wifi which transmits data via radio waves, light utilizing Li-Fi. Although light and radio waves are equally part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but the light has a spectrum 10.000x larger than radio waves. These are the advantages of Li-Fi because it can be used as a medium of large capacity data transfer.
Well, a recent news revealed that Apple was already testing the Li-Fi technology, which is likely to be applied to the next-generation iPhone model.
It is known through file 'library cache' in the iOS 9.1 software update. Appears in the document file called the "LiFi Capability", which is right next to the other capabilities.
By utilizing Li-Fi in the upcoming iPhone, the light that comes to be received by a light sensor, then convert it into an electronic signal that is read by the device.
But do not expect Li-Fi technology can be presented in an iPhone 7 because the new Apple currently in the testing phase of Li-Fi. But indications Apple uses Li-Fi technology in the future it's quite possible.
In addition to the findings of the files 'library cache' in the iOS 9.1 software update earlier, Apple also known as a company that likes to implement hardware-based light for wireless data transfer, wireless or optical communication.
An Apple patent application filed in 2013 describes a method "optical modulation using the image sensor". The sensor can switch between shooting and data retrieval mode.
Well, obviously if Apple will actually be able to apply Li-Fi technology in iPhone, so users will be able to enjoy high-speed Internet, even in rooms that were once impenetrable signal.
