Over the past two days, there have been rumors from leakers with a fairly accurate history of predicting what Apple would do that the company plans to put a chip in the iPhone 13 that can communicate via satellite. What is the origin of this rumor? Will you be able to connect via satellite with your next phone?
The technology is already there
There are already phones that can communicate via satellite. They are used for industrial purposes and for communication with professionals who work in places where traditional coverage is not available, such as mountains and forests. But there are many obstacles to using such technology in a phone like the iPhone. The largest is the antenna size required to transmit the signal to the satellite. Apple will have to design completely new antennas that are the first of their kind. It will also need to put a lot of plastic on the edges of the device to allow the antenna signal.
The source of the rumor
The source here is the prediction of the famous leaker Ming Chi that Apple will use the new X60 modem chip from Qualcomm, but in a modified form as it contains satellite communication capabilities early, as it is expected that the rest of the smartphone manufacturers will get the same feature with the X65 chip expected in 2022. With the next generation of phones.
Another expectation is that the technology will only be used for emergencies
Another well-known whistleblower, Mark Gorman, predicted that Apple would use this technology not to make calls and messages via satellite permanently, but to improve access to emergency services only in the absence of traditional coverage. This theory is more plausible since the antenna needed to do such a task is smaller. But it's still too big for an iPhone, and Apple has to redesign that too.
The mare stud in Global Star and 5G technology
After a little research, you will find that all these rumors are related to Global Star, which recently got an agreement with Qualcomm (the maker of telecom modem companies including Apple) to add its own chip to Qualcomm's X65 modem. Global Star is one of the largest satellite communications companies.
But these predictions miss the fact that Global Star has also obtained licenses to develop 5G networks using its N53 chip, which will be integrated with Qualcomm's modem. So it is more likely that Apple will use this chip not for satellite communications, but to improve the 5G network in the upcoming iPhone devices and help them spread. This possibility is increased by the fact that satellite communications are not supported primarily in the usual N53 range and are not used by specialized phones.
Is all this for sure?
Of course not, all of these are analyzes and not confirmed news. May not come any new communication technology in the iPhone 13 and is postponed to the iPhone 14. The technology may come, but to support 5G only. The technology may come and Apple will use it to facilitate emergency calls. Nothing is certain in the world of expectations, but what we have mentioned is an explanation of the largest possible possibilities currently.
Personally, I would like to improve the 5G network in new ways. The millimeter wave technology that telecom networks now rely on for maximum 5G speeds is impractical. Where the signal slows down the farther you are, even a small distance from the transmission towers (which are not scattered in the first place) and can be intercepted and cut off easily if there is anything between you and the tower, such as a building or a wall.

Small error The 5G depends on the frequencies of the mmWave, not the nanometer.
God willing... it will be good
The rise of the fifth generation level will be essential as the world turns to the Internet of Things (IOT), but satellite communication is inevitable and coming.
Wonderful article.
We want leaks that affect the purchase decision of current generations and that benefit the consumer more
Such as: battery size, physical changes to the device, etc.
I hope to publish an article dealing with the salient points of these leaks, especially since we are in the month of XNUMX
Always distinguished iPhone Islam I am interested in developing more 5G with the maximum speeds available
Does the issue have anything to do with the satellites launched by Space X?
The large antenna may be an external accessory if this feature is applied
And if it is implemented, it will be gradual
Does the 5G work with the current cellular internet packages, which do not exceed the fingers of one hand from the telecommunications companies in our country!
Whoever experiences speed by consuming data by 5G knows that he needs hundreds of gigabytes, so using one day is enough to eliminate the poor 4 gigabits, enough for a month of time for the old rabbit XNUMXG, so our friend will have to go back to the fourth generation network, which provides adequate speed for a normal device for an ordinary user. for a normal program.
The apple did well to wait to catch up with the fifth generation, and I see here even an urgency to support the young rabbit with the fifth arm, with the expected advantage mentioned, because the companies want to recover the investment by not offering suitable packages with high capacities so that the fan of speeds has to subscribe to more expensive packages for higher data.
So, based on the foregoing and what is available from normal use, let the new rabbit and its supporting techniques go to the shelf of time until time permits it and a sixth rabbit appears, and there is no consolation for equipment that only a scattering will use.
From Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Data Mode
Make sure to choose the “Basic” option or the “Low data” mode.
Because it is the first option “allowing more data” to eat the package, eat it, I tried it and consumed the package in a day.
We want emergency and non-emergency satellite communication technology, as there are people who work in out-of-coverage areas on the ground or work in the basement of a facility.
As usual, Yvonne Islam, you are distinguished in reporting the news
The days will show you what you were ignorant of
The news comes to you from not provided
He will bring you news to whom you did not sell
at all, and you did not make an appointment for him
