Have they made 5-10 breakthroughs in radio communications while we weren’t paying attention?
- lxgr 5y agoSomewhat affordable handheld satellite phones and messengers have been available for many years now!
- gambiting 5y agoYes but we've also been told for years that apple absolutely and categorically cannot include a headphone jack any more because they used the room for other things, but now suddenly there's room for a satellite radio and antenna?

I‘m actually glad they are using the space for something I‘d actually be using, and I doubt that I am the minority in this. > now suddenly there's room for a satellite radio and antenna? It wouldn‘t be a new baseband or probably even transceiver. Iridium is 1.5 GHz, which is probably covered by one of the existing power amplifiers, and the radio technology is pretty similar to GSM and probably integrated into the existing baseband.
