Apple has the capital to develop and launch connectivity satellites all around the world. Instead of building a car they should focus on this IMO.

- michelb 4y agoThey won't be building a car, and they probably won't build satellites. A deal with Starlink is more likely.
- panick21_ 4y agoStarlink and Kupiter already bought up all available launch for the next 5 years. Not to mention a number of other providers trying to sneak in there. Would make no sense for Apple to do anything like that.
- joshstrange 4y agoThat's not Apple's way. They don't try to compete on commodities, they don't fab their own chips, they don't design/make their own displays, they won't launch a satellite constellation. Even on the car project I'd expect them to partner with an existing car maker or the entire car project has been (or turned into) about providing the infotainment software (look at the new CarPlay stuff) similar to Android Automotive (not to be confused with Android Auto :rolleyes:).
- SpikeDad 4y agoI'm constantly surprised at how people don't understand Apple. They don't even make wireless routers any more and you think they should start launching satellites? Apple will leverage their immense power in the market to get preexisting services to accommodate their specific needs. Why reinvent the wheel?
