iPhone 13 won’t support satellite communications

A recent report claimed that the upcoming iPhone 13 models will feature low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication connectivity to allow users to make calls and send messages in areas without cellular coverage. However, now some mobile analysts and communication experts have denied this speculation.

The upcoming custom chip for iPhone 13 which is expected to be able to connect with satellites could not be able to do so, reports AppleInsider.

According to PCMag analyst Sascha Segan, the new Qualcomm chip, made in partnership with satellite company Globalstar, does not mean that the next iPhone will be able to communicate with satellites. The chip will be able to take advantage of satellite bands that were previously assigned to satellite service.
