The satellite communications of the iPhone 13 will not be available to everyone, but will be a limited release to certain markets. A few weeks ago, we learned that the iPhone 13 would arrive with this ability. Now, thanks to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, we know that the feature will only be available in emergency situations where there is no cellular connectivity, and only in select markets. The emergency functions will only work in areas without cellular coverage and only in certain markets. Apple plans to roll out its own satellite network to transmit data to devices, but that plan will likely take years to get off the ground. Gurman also says that Apple won’t give iPhone users the ability to make calls when they don’t have cell coverage. Some have asked me if these new features mean that the iPhone can be used as a satellite phone and have the ability to make calls anywhere in the world without cellular coverage. The answer is a big no. That is not going to happen now, not next year, or in the near future. Gurman explains that launching this feature would require hardware that is not ready yet. In addition, it would be “expensive and could cause a revolt of the telephone companies that Apple depends on.” According to last week’s Bloomberg report, Apple is working on at least two approaches: transmitting short emergency messages and sending SOS distress signals for crises, such as plane crashes, or sinking ships, in areas. remote. Apparently Apple will integrate emergency satellite messaging into the Messages app, allowing users to contact emergency services and close friends without any mobile signal. According to Bloomberg, emergency messages will appear as gray bubbles, in addition to the traditional blue of iMessage and the green of SMS. Telephone calls may also be supported over time. Connecting to a satellite will require the user to be abroad, according to the report. It may take up to a minute for the signal to arrive.
