iPhone 13? Surely this is the kind of feature that would require a redesign not something to introduce in an S year.
Also seems implausible when the 13 is already in volume manufacturing and this is the first we’ve heard of it…
- lxgr 5y agoThis would be a baseband only change really. Iridium has about the same frequency (1-2 GHz), directionality (omnidirectional antennas are good enough) and power constraints 1-2 Watt) as good old GSM. It‘s just the spectrum that is very, very expensive (due to a cell being hundreds of kilometers in diameter).
- jl6 5y agoHasn’t it been an S year for the last 3 years?
- stirlo 5y agoLast years iPhone 12 changed to a new square sided design. This year the 13 will be an S design (and leaked renders confirm).
