A newly-discovered piece of iOS code suggests that Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is exploring the use of Li-Fi technology in iPhones, according to a report from BGR. Li-Fi is a technology similar to Wi-Fi that is capable of transmitting data via light, making it 100 times faster than standard Wi-Fi.

Researchers testing Li-Fi technology in a lab were recently able to achieve download speeds of 224 gigabits per second, which would allow for the download of multiple HD movies in less than two seconds.

Despite the promising potential of LiFi, it's unlikely that its numerous limitations will be worked out in time for the iPhone 7 or even the next several generations of iPhones. For example, since light cannot travel through walls or other solid objects, neither can Li-Fi at the moment. However, if there's one thing the world has learned from Apple, it's not to underestimate the company's power of innovation, and Li-Fi could soon be the next major advancement in smartphone technology.
