Apple has revolutionized mobile connectivity by integrating Starlink satellite technology into iPhones through the latest iOS 18.3 update. This new feature enables users to send text messages even in areas without cellular coverage, greatly enhancing communication reliability.
Thanks to a collaboration between SpaceX and T-Mobile, iPhone users can now access satellite-powered texting, with future updates expected to support photos, music, and videos. The integration is seamless, with users able to manage the feature via a dedicated toggle in cellular settings.
This move marks Apple's first shift away from its long-standing reliance on Globalstar, offering a glimpse into the future of mobile communication. The impact is already visible, as Globalstar's shares have dropped 11% following the announcement.
