Apple could present them for the iPhone 14 with an operator

It’s been a year since the first rumors about it, and although it looked like they were dead, they came back just before a opening speech. Apparently Apple will set aside space for the ‘Far Out’ event to reveal that the iPhone 14 will be able to have a satellite connection

at times when there is no mobile coverage.

Beyond 5G antennas

The pieces fit together: the operator Globalstar would be chosen to offer the service, using 17 satellites acquired in February to “provide ongoing service to a potential customer”. information revealed it Tim Farrar on his Twitter account.

The service can allow send SMS and MMS messages even if we had no mobile coverage

at no additional cost, although these messages may be for emergencies only and not for everyday use. Some additional messaging services might also work to support the service, which shouldn’t cost much if the iPhone 14 itself already includes the necessary chip to make it possible. The question remains whether this could also be possible with calls.

Curiously, the invitation opening speech It is inspired by space. Is this a sign that the iPhone 14 may have satellite connectivity? We will see it on Wednesday, September 7, when we will cover the event and bring you all the news in time.
