Apple’s iPhone 13 will support satellite connectivity, says Ming-Chi Kuo

Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 13 next month, but there’s one particular feature that got us excited. As reported by Apple analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and MacRumors, the iPhone 13 may come with a feature that will allow you to make satellite calls using a smartphone. If this is true, users will be able to make calls and send messages in areas where connectivity is lacking.
Traditionally, satellite phones allow you to make calls by radio through orbiting satellites, rather than terrestrial cell sites, as cellphones do.
One of the main benefits of using a satellite phone is the ability to make calls in most geographic locations on the Earth’s surface because the device is not limited to areas covered by cell towers.
The analyst believes that the iPhone 13 will pack a customized Qualcomm X60 baseband chip that will allow it to connect directly to low Earth orbit (or LEO) satellites.
Apple is expected to unveil four models including the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, and iPhone 13 mini. The iPhone 13 is expected to be powered by the A15 Bionic chipset and will likely feature a similar design to the iPhone 12 series.
The iPhone 13 Mini Edition may pack a compact 5.4-inch display. Standard and Pro models may sport a 6.1-inch screen.
The iPhone 13 Pro Max is likely to feature a bigger 6.7-inch screen. As far as the battery is concerned, the iPhone 13 mini will have a 2,406 mAh battery, the iPhone 13 and its Pro variant will have a 3,095 mAh battery. The more expensive variant, the iPhone 13 Pro Max, could pack a 4,352mAh battery.
According to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, Apple may launch the iPhone next month on September 14. This claim is also supported by an e-commerce listing seen on the Chinese micro-blogging platform Weibo.
The listing suggests that the iPhone 13 may go up for pre-orders on September 17th, which coincides well with the launch date of September 14th as phones often go on pre-orders in a few days after the launch event. go.
