Rumors that Apple might enable satellite communication for the iPhone 13 recently attracted a lot of attention. Now a leaker has spoken out again and sheds more light on the matter.
At the end of August, the Apple analyst claimed in a letter to investors that Apple would introduce satellite communication support through a customized chip with the "iPhone 13". While other analysts quickly doubted this claim, Mark Gurman once again confirmed Apple's plan in this regard. writes Gurman said in his latest newsletter, “Power On,” that satellite communications might be included, but only for mobile phones “in select markets.”
iPhone with satellite communication could trigger revolt among telephone providers
In addition, the function is only used as an emergency measure function, i.e. only when there is no cellular coverage. Gurman stresses that the feature will not mean that satellite calls can be made anywhere without a cellular connection, because that would "spark a revolt among the phone providers that Apple relies on." Even though this service will not be available immediately, Apple is apparently interested in enabling more satellite communications in the future and plans to "deploy its own set of satellites to transmit data to devices." However, this plan is probably still years away. Are you looking for new MagSafe accessories from Apple?
