Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL) is expanding its satellite capabilities by working with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and T-Mobile (NASDAQ:TMUS) to integrate Starlink support into iPhones, according to a Bloomberg report.
What This Means for iPhone Users

Apple’s latest iOS 18.3 update reportedly includes Starlink support—but Apple did not mention it in official release notes.
This would give iPhone users an alternative to Apple’s in-house Globalstar satellite service.
It is unclear whether Starlink will extend beyond emergency SOS features to voice calls and internet connectivity.

Why This Matters
Apple’s Satellite Expansion Strategy

Apple’s current Globalstar-based satellite service offers only emergency SOS, texting, and location sharing.
Starlink’s integration could mean Apple aims to enhance satellite communications or even compete with traditional mobile networks.
T-Mobile’s existing Starlink partnership suggests iPhones may soon support broader satellite connectivity.
