  • The iPhone 15 Pro’s A17 Pro chip has a built-in Thread radio.
  • That technically means the new Pro iPhones could function as border routers to connect a Thread network to the internet.
  • No Android phone has this capability just yet, but Google could be working on it.

With the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, Apple made some internal changes that make the phones best equipped to handle modern smart home devices and networks. Both the new Pro iPhones are the first smartphones ever to feature a Thread radio, allowing you to directly control your Thread-enabled smart home devices.
