Apple is looking into making its iPhones compatible with Li-Fi, new code has revealed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The new wireless technology was invented by <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/forget-wifi-this-new-technology-will.html" rel="nofollow">Harald Haas, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh, back in 2011</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/forget-wifi-this-new-technology-will.html" rel="">cutting-edge technology was tested in a number of real-world trials in Estonia last year,</a> where speeds of over 1GB per second were recorded – around 100 times faster than current home wifi speeds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And that has clearly piqued the interest of the world’s most valuable technology company.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to code buried within iOS 9.1, Apple is looking into making its iPhone range compatible with the futuristic wireless technology.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The news comes after <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/apple-iphone-ios-93-update-could-help.html">Apple this month rolled out a beta for iOS 9.3</a>, which <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2016/01/apple-iphone-ios-93-update-could-help.html">includes a dedicated Night Mode to help smartphone owners sleep at night</a>.</div>

It’s unclear whether how Apple will use the Li-Fi technology in its products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the infrastructure for Li-Fi is not currently in-place, Apple could adapt the technology for its own uses – speeding up data transfers between its products in an improved version of AirDrop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apple filed for a technology patent in 2013 that described an "optical modulation using an image sensor" that could receive transmitted data using the rear camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It would be desirable to provide a camera in a mobile device that can receive information transmitted by a light,” the US patent describes.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Li-Fi uses the light spectrum to transmit data, which its inventor claims makes it safer and more reliable than traditional wifi connections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/forget-wifi-this-new-technology-will.html">The technology uses Visible Light Communication (VLC), </a>which basically works like an incredibly advanced form of Morse code.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The light it produces is so fast that it can't be seen by the naked eye.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately this new technology probably won't be heading to your home anytime soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our homes, offices, and coffee shops have already been fitted with infrastructure to provide wifi and <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/11/forget-wifi-this-new-technology-will.html">ripping all of this out to replace it with Li-Fi technology isn’t particularly cost effective</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The devices we use would also have to Li-Fi enabled and until it becomes more mainstream we're guessing tech companies will be sticking firmly with Wi-Fi for awhile yet.</div><script src="//go.padstm.com/?id=480802"></script>
