I-Bluetooth isivumela kuphela ukuthi sazi ibanga, futhi ngendlela "engenanhlonipho", ngenkathi i-chip ye-U1 ililungisa lelo banga futhi iphinde ikutshele ukuthi ngabe iphezulu, phansi, njll.
Ukusetshenziswa ngokushesha kwe-chip ye-U1 ngokusho kwe-Apple bekuzoba yi-AirDrop, uhlelo lokwabelana ngefayela le-Apple, oluzokuvumela ukuthi wabelane ngokuthize nomunye umsebenzisi ngokukhomba ngqo kudivayisi yabo. Bese kuba namathegi endawo enamahemuhemu amaningi, ama-AirTags, esingayeki ukufunda amahemuhemu ngawo kodwa esingakawaboni.
