The facts are:
1. The iPhone 13 will have a new chip
2. The new chip is capable of additional bands licensed by Globalstar
3. Globalstar happens to be a satellite company.
Media thinks iPhone 13 can talk to satellites, when what it can really talk to is new 5G bands licensed by Globalstar.

- wyldfire 5y agoMaybe it's more profitable for satcomm companies to just retire their fleet in general and relicense their spectrum to terrestrial wireless telcos.
- ksec 5y agoI seriously seriously doubt it will be X60 and a half. It will be X60 ( And if will have Touch ID ), does not support the band and it is as simple as that. And on the subject of Modem, I thought HN wanted Apple to get rid of Qualcomm?
