SPR AVS is probably confusion -- it's likely the new USB PD3.2 Standard Power Range Adjustable Voltage Supply used to fast charge the iPhone 17 Pro phones with Apple's new 40/60watt charger.
It seems improbable that SPR AVS is same the initialism for two distinct new separate features. Apple announced the charging one. This bluetooth alternative is pure unfounded speculation.
