In 2022, Apple jumped ahead of the rest of the industry by being the first to roll out phones with integrated satellite connectivity - enabling this feature in the entire iPhone 14 lineup.
In 2023, Apple added support for less life-threatening situations by allowing users to contact AAA Roadside Assistance via satellite. But overall, the system remained extremely limited.
We've long suspected that Apple has bigger plans for the satellite capabilities it has been building, and now, at last, we know what is next.
Starting this fall with the release of iOS 18, all iPhone 14 and newer models will be able to send general text messages via satellite!
Can Apple bring this to market before Starlink begins offering text messaging to all T-Mobile customers?
What will this new system be capable of, and what will it cost?
