Apple’s iPhone devices are now eligible to participate in testing SpaceX-owned Starlink’s direct-to-cell capability, which offers coverage from space. This follows an announcement by T-Mobile, a partner in the initiative. T-Mobile, along with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, has been conducting trial tests of the Starlink cell network since receiving approval from the Federal Communications Commission in November of the previous year. Reuters:
Of course, since September 2022 starting with iPhone 14, users can connect their iPhone to a satellite to text emergency services, request roadside assistance, message friends and family, and share your location — all while being off the grid with no cellular and Wi-Fi coverage via Apple’s partnership with GlobalStar.
