Does IPhone11 measures the range of DW1000 and viceversa?

Hi,
I am new here. New for UWB technology. I would like to use DWM1000 modules in the proximity application.
Can I use iPhone11 as a Tag?. If I make a DW1000 as Anchor, Can I make iPhone 11 as a tag to measure the range?. Thank you.

No. Apple don’t publish their protocols, only apple products can use apple UWB.

Hi Andy,

Thank you. Another question, uwb in iPhone11 is used in Airdrop only?. or uwb in iPhone11 shows the range of other U1 equipped iPhones?

It should be able to range to another iPhone.

But then on paper it should be able to range to a DW1000. It is purely up to Apple and what functionality they wish to provide.
