Apple is developing new features for the iPhone using satellite communications

Apple is working on new satellite features for the iPhone. This will require a major overhaul of the Globalstar network that Apple relies on. Meanwhile, Globalstar is in talks with SpaceX about a merger. It’s clear who will buy whom.

Apple hopes to realize its plans, notes xrust. This breakthrough will save users if 5G is unavailable. Future innovations include the introduction of satellite connectivity in Apple Maps. This will allow users to navigate without access to cellular service or Wi-Fi.

Apple is also working on improving the satellite messaging system, which supports sending photos in addition to basic text messages.

Today, experts note, one of the main limitations of Apple's current system is the need for an unobstructed view of the sky. The company aims to give users the ability to stay connected even if their iPhone is in their pocket, in the car, or even indoors, eliminating the need to physically point the device at the sky.
