It was reported on the afternoon of August 8 that, as the only smartphone in the Chinese market that has not yet supported the BeiDou Satellite Navigation System (BDS) function, Apple’s product iPhone will soon announce that it supports the BeiDou system.
It is reported that Apple’s new product iPhone 12 will start to support Beidou navigation, and the previous generations of iPhones do not support this system.
On Wednesday, Beidou satellite navigation system spokesperson and director of the China Satellite Navigation Office Ran Chengqi said in an interview with the media: “Apple will use the Beidou navigation system sooner or later, because if the Beidou system is easy to use, they will of course use better navigation. system.”
Today’s latest news seems to verify Ran Chengqi’s statement. The news mentions that Apple has already debugged the performance of the iPhone 12 series, including the compatibility test of Beidou Navigation. In addition, it is reported that after the conclusion of this new Apple product launch, Apple will clearly announce on the official website that the new generation of iPhone will support the Beidou satellite navigation system, in order to reduce users’ complaints about the product.
The Beidou satellite navigation system is a large-scale space-based system in China. It is one of the four major global navigation networks. The other four global navigation networks include GPS in the United States, GLONASS in Russia and Galileo in the European Union.
Ran Chengqi said at a press conference on Monday that most smartphones sold in China support Beidou positioning, and smartphones that support high-precision applications are already on the market.
Apple has said that the Beidou satellite navigation system is already an integral part of the existing positioning data system of the company’s product iPhone 11. However, taking the current latest iPhone 11 series as an example, the introduction of Apple’s China official website shows that the positioning function of iPhone 11 supports GPS, GNSS, digital compass, wireless local area network, cellular network and iBeacon micro-positioning. Almost all kinds of technologies are available. The support of the Beidou system is not listed alone, which is why Apple has been complained by many netizens. Huawei’s P40 lists the above four systems separately. Samsung S10+, OPPO, Xiaomi and other mobile phone brands also support the Beidou satellite navigation system.
According to Ran Chengqi, the Beidou system has a global positioning accuracy of more than 10 meters and a timing accuracy of more than 20 nanoseconds, and its performance in the Asia-Pacific region is even better. Ran Chengqi said that so far, the Beidou system has been applied to industries such as transportation, public security, disaster relief, agriculture and urban governance, and has been integrated into China’s important infrastructure construction, including power, finance and telecommunications.
At present, Beidou satellite navigation system services cover more than 200 countries and regions, with more than 100 million users and more than 200 million daily services. In addition, Beidou satellite navigation system products have been exported to more than 120 countries and regions, serving hundreds of millions of users. The services based on the Beidou system have been successfully applied to the fields of surveying and mapping, agriculture, and digital construction in the member states of ASEAN, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West Asia and Africa.
