Apple Announced Partnership With SpaceX And T-Mobile

Apple has reportedly collaborated with Elon Musk's SpaceX and US telecom provider T-Mobile to enable support for the Starlink Statlite network in iPhones.

Currently, Elon Musk-owned Starlink and Germany-based telecommunications company T-Mobile are testing the Starlink cell network on a trial basis.

Furthermore, according to the report, the companies have begun testing the network on selected models running iOS 18.3 through the T-Mobile Starlink beta program. However, prior to the iPhone, T-Mobile had previously listed Android smartphones as eligible devices to test the network.

The trial feature will offer a ‘text via satellite’ facility. Both voice and data features will be added later, the report said.
