WASHINGTON — The iPhone 13 lineup will bring significant upgrades to the upcoming series. The iPhone 13 is also set to debut support for LEO satellite communications; however, there is a catch.
While the satellite connectivity feature is intended to work only in an emergency, a new rumor suggests that the LEO satellite communication system will be available on iPhone 13 models only in select markets.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo earlier said the iPhone 13 will feature LEO satellite communication connectivity, allowing users to send messages and make calls without coverage.
Apple intends to introduce the LEO satellite communication feature on iPhone 13 models only in select markets.
Suppose you are not sure what we are talking about. In that case, the new LEO satellite communication system will allow users to send messages and make calls even without a network.
The feature could be of critical importance in remote locations with no network coverage. However, it will launch in select markets with the iPhone 13.
The iPhone 13 models would be equipped with new hardware for satellite communication, which is not yet in place. In addition to this, it would be expensive and could possibly be lobbied against by phone carriers.
iPhone 13 is expected to launch in September.
Apple’s iPhone 13 lineup is expected to arrive later this month alongside the Apple Watch Series 7, which has also seemingly run into a few production hurdles of its own.
