Apple hasn't made much mention of its iBeacon technology, an implementation of Bluetooh LE technology that could revolutionize mapping and geolocation technology. Unlike the typical GPS features that have been included on the iPad mini and other mobile devices, iBeacon would allow pinpoint accuracy, leading to a richer experience in areas like retail shopping and navigation.

How can this technology be used? Apple news site 9to5Mac.com has some interesting hypothetical applications that could be rolled out in the near future, now that app developers have access to the feature. If you have an iPhone or iPad with iBeacon enabled, you could visit stores and receive a more personalized shopping experience. It can also potentially be integrated into mobile payments processing, allowing you to make purchases without even taking your wallet out of your pocket.

Major League Baseball has already implemented iBeacon at some of its ballparks. Visitors to stadiums can use the feature to pull up maps of stadiums on their Apple smartphone or tablet and locate concession stands, bathrooms and other areas of the facility.

The technology could also be used for loyalty programs, giving customers rewards for frequently shopping at certain stores.

It's easy to see how iBeacons can eventually spread to all devices, including Apple Mac laptops and other products. By integrating more accurate, targeted location information, users will be able to get more functionality out of their devices.
