Which "it" are you talking about? Apple added Globalstar antenna in iPhone 14 so it works with any newer iPhone. If you are talking about Starlink Direct-to-Cell, it will work with any phone with 5G and 1900 MHz band.
For Starlink Direct-to-cell, they are partnering with mobile providers, like T-Mobile in the US. I can't find it, but my understanding is that it will be included in the service. It will be incentive for people to use T-Mobile.
- ImPostingOnHN 3y agoBased on some googling, the latest iphone is 15, so that means it works on 2/15ths of iphones, or an even smaller fraction if you count all the variants apple has released. If we're looking at non-iphones, the fraction likely gets even worse. Remember 3g was only shut down a couple years ago. And this requires 5g to work? As in 2 entire generations newer? But yeah, I also haven't found any confirmation it would be free for T-Mobile customers (who have the right phones), so I think it's safe to assume it won't be until we get that. It'd be cool if true, though!
