Bloomberg reporting that Apple has been secretly working with SpaceX and TMUS. to add support for the Starlink network in its latest iPhone software, providing an alternative to the company’s in-house satellite-communication service. The tie-up comes as a surprise: T-Mobile has previously only specified Starlink as an option for Samsung. phones, such as the Z Fold and S24 models. Apple, meanwhile, already provides a Globalstar Inc. offering that lets consumers send texts and contact emergency responders when out of cellular range.

Musk confirmed the report on X, indicating “Medium resolution images, music &  audio podcasts should work with the current generation Starlink direct-to-phone constellation. Next generation constellation will do medium resolution video.”
