　　Rumors are swirling that the iPhone 14 series will eventually support satellite connectivity, and it's likely to be one of Apple's "forward-looking" features to be revealed at its September 8th event.

　　At the same time, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, not only the iPhone 14, but also the iPhone 13 series also support satellite connectivity in hardware, but Apple failed to enable it because it didn’t consider the business model.

　　According to Tim Farrar, an expert consultant in the satellite communication industry, he learned that the satellite communication company Apple cooperated with this time is Globalstar, and that it will provide free connection services for the iPhone 14. The content is two-way text messages, and calls cannot be realized for the time being.

　　In fact, when Musk SpaceX and T-Mobile announced their cooperation to provide mobile phone direct connection service for the second-generation Starlink last week, it was also mentioned that this service uses the PCS frequency band, which is supported by many mobile phones on the market. What they have to do is to retrofit the satellites, increase their performance and quantity, and upgrade their large antennas of 5-6 meters.
