Apple has left some clues inside iOS that could indicate that future iPhone models will be at the forefront of the movement to Li-Fi. Since data is transmitted at extremely fast speeds using pulsating streams of light, the technology could be used in the future to replace Wi-Fi. Apple’s move to introduce this technology is pretty solid since it might be beneficial as the first mover advantage. Under controlled lab conditions, researchers were able to strike Li-Fi speeds of 224 gigabits per second, which is rapid enough to download mixed HD cinema in less than two seconds....
