iOS7 – The hidden revolution – Part 2

I have spent some more time with iBeacons since my first article from last week.

The feedback on my post from last week was pretty amazing. Usually, I am happy if 100 people a day visit my site but, in the last 7 days more than 19.000 people read the article on iBeacons.

Really exciting and it shows the interest for the possibilities that this new technology seems to have at its core: bringing the real world and the digital world closer together.

We experimented with this new technology a bit and created a simple app to understand how iBeacons in real life work.

Right now it is hard to get Hardware Beacons. A few companies plan to ship them “soon”, but at least I found one supplier where I was able to order three beacons. I hope they will arrive in the next week so we can play around with them.

iOS7 - The hidden revolution

Wed, 18 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0200

Every once in a while I get totally excited when I see something and know that this will change everything.

I had these moments twice in technology, with the iPhone. However, I missed the opportunity to make something out of it.

The second time I felt like this was the evening when the iPad was revealed. That is what we built Swipe on.

For a few days now, I’ve been feeling there is another revolution that no one sees around the corner.

Today iOS7 will be launched, and all the reviews concentrate on the new flat design, the new fingerprint sensor or the better camera, the amazing chip inside the 5S or the colors of the 5C, or complain about the missing NFC.

However, everyone is missing a major point. Apple hid it so well in front of our eyes that it is hard to see at all.

It was just a tiny word on a slide at WWDC in June:

iBeacons

No one really noted, except those who attended WWDC personally or watched the videos. We are under NDA as developers, so we can’t really show anything out of Apples developer portal.

However, it is easy for one to explain. With iOS7, Apple connects the digital world with the real world.

iBeacons will enable every iOS7 device to become a “beacon”, which creates a “Bluetooth low energy” field. BLE basically needs almost no energy, so it won´t drain your battery at all.

(I made a few rather bad drawings myself, sorry for the bad handwriting. Hope this helps to understand the idea better)

If you enter this field with your iPhone running iOS7, with bluetooth activated, it will notice that it is within the range of a beacon, and it could activate something on your phone.
