Here’s why Apple put a Thread radio in the iPhone 15 Pro

Could Thread one day replace Bluetooth in Apple’s ecosystem?

The iPhone could be a Thread border router, but it probably shouldn’t be

The iPhone could control Thread smart home devices faster

Thread could replace Bluetooth as a way to connect peripherals like the Apple Watch to your iPhone

Thread would be fine for most smartwatch uses but not for audio streaming

Thread might just be a bonus radio

    I was under the impression that Thread / Matter is not an apple thing at all but effectively a new-ish common standard?

      Yes, it’s basically a new standard that sits next to WiFi and Bluetooth. All three have strengths and weaknesses for different applications.
