iPhone: You can send messages even without a network! A new satellite feature is coming to the iPhone, learn how it works..

If you're an iPhone user, there's good news for you. Soon, you'll be able to send messages and use Apple Maps even without a mobile network. Apple is working on a new satellite connectivity feature that will allow users to stay connected even in remote areas or when there's no network.

Why is this new feature being introduced?
This new update from Apple is primarily being introduced to help in emergencies. In fact, with the iPhone 14 series launched in 2022, Apple introduced the SOS message feature via satellite. This allowed users to connect with emergency services or contacts even in places where there's no network. Later, the company also added a roadside assistance feature to help in case of a breakdown. Now, Apple wants to take this technology to the next level by providing satellite connectivity to apps like Messages and Apple Maps.

How will this new satellite feature work?
According to reports, Apple is working on advanced satellite technology for this new feature. The company has partnered with a satellite operator called Globalstar for this purpose. This is the same company that supports Apple's Emergency SOS feature.

The two companies are now working together on a system that eliminates the need for users to point their phones at satellites. This means that even if your iPhone is in your pocket, car, or bag, it will automatically connect to the satellite.

5G NTN technology will also be included.
Reports suggest that Apple will also include 5G NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) support in its next iPhone models. This technology combines mobile tower and satellite networks to provide better coverage and stable connectivity. This means that future iPhones will be able to easily provide calls and messaging services not only in cities but also in mountains, forests, or even at sea.
