Let’s think three moves ahead here. Apple starts off with this good-publicity, peace-of-mind emergency service, gets a bunch of practice testing the technology in real-world situations, iterates and tweaks for a couple years, and then maybe in 2026 there’s a version of the iPhone that can use satellite communication for everyday non-emergency purposes.

- KoftaBob 4y agoWhen you say everyday non-emergency purposes, do you mean phone calls and full internet access?
- thehappypm 4y agoMaybe iMessage? A phone that can always, 100% of the time get messages out would literally be a lifesaver.
