iPhone 14 Likely To Include Satellite Connectivity For Emergencies

In areas where cellular internet is not available, the iPhone 14 may be able to communicate via satellite. Before the release of the iPhone 13, a similar rumor occurred in 2021. Although the new iPhone would not be released for six months, report about its features and characteristics have been circulating on the internet.

Based on the aesthetic reports, the aesthetic size and characteristics of the next iPhone 14 Pro Max recently disclosed thanks to the leaky blueprint. According to one of the most famous Apple analysts, this iPhone model will include satellite communication technology. It should be noted that Apple Ming-Chi Kuo analysts made a similar estimate of the iPhone 13 years ago.According to Kuo, the iPhone 13 may be able to communicate with satellites that orbits low earth. While the functionality was not released last year, it might allow the iPhone to operate without the need for 4G or 5G network connectivity, although with limited capabilities.

Because these features have been mentioned twice in the last two years, it is safe to assume that the iPhone 14 model will include it. The upcoming iPhone 14 can display satellite connectivity technology, according to Bloomberg Mark Gurman. The iPhone can use satellite communication to send and receive short messages in the area where cellular services are not available.

In terms of emergency, this feature can be used. Furthermore, because the iPhone 14 is expected to include satellite communication, maybe customers can interact without cellular services. Bloomberg initially reported Apple’s exploration into satellite technology for connectivity in 2019.

In investor records, Kuo detailed the capabilities of the iPhone satellite communication in the future. The iPhone 13 range is expected to employ a special version of the Qualcomm X60 modem which will allow it to communicate via satellite.
