Authoritative reviewer Min-Chi Kuo spoke about one of the expected features of Apple's upcoming flagship device. According to him, a satellite communication module will appear on board the new generation iPhone.
The innovation, according to an insider, will make it possible to interact with LEO satellites located in low Earth orbit. The module will enable the owner of the device to make calls and send messages even in areas without cellular coverage.
The idea of the Cupertinians to introduce satellite communications became known back in 2019. Kuo is convinced that the brand wants to apply this technology to other Apple products: an augmented reality headset, the Apple Car project and IoT devices.
How exactly the technology will be implemented in the future flagship is still unknown. It is also unclear if it will be available only for proprietary utilities, or other applications will have access to it. There is also no information on tariffs for this type of communication. Perhaps the details will appear at Apple's September presentation.
