Well-known in narrow circles analyst Ming-Chi Kuo announced that the next generation of “apple” smartphones can get a really unique and useful function. Allegedly, the iPhone 13 will be able to connect to satellite communications, no less!
Yes, yes, Kuo predicts that the iPhone 13 will use Qualcomm X60 chips with support for direct connectivity to LEO satellites. The same technology is already used in the Starlink global satellite Internet system from Elon Musks, and similar solutions from Hughesnet and OneWeb, as well as Immarsat, should appear in the near future. Moreover, the latter company announced the integration of its satellite technologies with fifth-generation terrestrial networks.
If the iPhone 13 does get this kind of technology, then proud owners will be able to make calls from virtually anywhere on the gliders without having to worry about signal sticks. However, in reality, Apple rarely embodies something truly revolutionary in its gadgets. And that week, the system requirements for the new Halo were announced.
