Nearby Interaction with UWB

Allow people to interact with connected accessories in completely new and exciting ways by leveraging the Ultra Wideband (UWB) chipset in a supported iPhone or Apple Watch. The Nearby Interaction framework makes it easy to integrate UWB in your apps and accessories.

App developers

Build apps that interact with accessories simply by being in close proximity to an Apple UWB-enabled product. Taking advantage of UWB allows you to create more precise, directionally aware app experiences.

Accessory manufacturers

Implement the Nearby Interaction accessory protocol with a Nearby Interaction-enabled UWB chipset to make accessories that interact with supported Apple products. Contact your UWB chipset vendor to confirm feature support.

Chipset vendors

Enable Apple UWB interoperability in your chipsets by implementing the Nearby Interaction specification.
