Apple adds QZSS to the specifications of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus

It is something that does not usually happen in this order, but we already know that Apple likes to surprise us. And it is that the specifications are something that is usually given at the beginning of the launch of a device, not almost four months later, as is what is happening with the iPhone 7 in this case. And is that now Apple has decided to update the specifications of the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus shown on its website to show support for the QZSS., known as the Japanese GPS. It is curious this latest move by Apple, when this feature should have been reported from the beginning, and not so long after.

On the Spanish website it has not been modified yet, We can only read "GLONASS and assisted GPS"However, if we go to the Japanese version of the website we get the following text (which we have translated):

Accessories such as GPS for satellite positioning in the most precise and stable way. QZSS technology can be used integrally combined with GPS, raising the number of satellites to eight or more (six GPS satellites and three QZSS), making the connection more stable, and with the highest possible positioning precision. QZSS is compatible with GPS and its receivers, it also allows any type of immersion at the geolocation level.

According to specialist blogs on the subject such as macotakara, this can improve geolocation for users from Japan, which would transform waiting times of between 30 seconds and an amount in just 15 seconds. Any type of advance in location is important, especially in a place of saturated cities such as Japan, where the location can become a bit unstable and difficult to use, the strange thing perhaps has been the late movement by the North American company for these tasks .
