    Not all phones have UWB. On the other hand, they do have Bluetooth.

        Well yeah, it hasn’t been released yet. Is this your idea of a joke?

          It’s not a joke. UWB adoption could easily stay ahead of Bluetooth 6 adoption. There’s nothing requiring phone manufacturers to always update to the latest Bluetooth, just like there’s still not very many 5G mmWave phones available.

          It could go either way. Bluetooth 6 might be more familiar for manufacturers to implement, but if the hardware is different to support the accuracy, who knows?

            “easily”? Please, name one device that has UWB and doesn’t include bluetooth.

            Besides, if this is included in 6.0 and assuming it does cost much more per chip, where’s the harm in having a better feature set? This seems like an incredibly pointless discussion.
