Communication with your iPhone via satellite could quickly become a reality. — AFP Relaxnews
The next iPhone could connect directly to some satellites, according to renowned tech analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple specialist and reported by many American media. The idea is to be able to, in the future, get access via one’s smartphone to an Internet connection from space, without any geographical limitations.
At least one version of the iPhone 13 could include a dedicated chip for the reception of satellite communications, in this case the Qualcomm Snapdragon X60. This would then allow it to connect to satellites in low-earth orbit (LEO) – generally at less than 1,500 km altitude.
