Rumors that the iPhone 13 can use satellite communication when Wi-Fi or cellular services are not available have created an upstream among cellular analysts.
According to some of them, special chips believed to be able to connect with satellites cannot do so, according to the report by AppleInsider, based on input from some analysts.
The report citing PCMag analyst Sascha reluctantly said that having a new Qualcomm and GlobalStar custom chip does not mean that the iPhone 13 will communicate with satellites even if it can improve the 5G device connection due to the availability of additional satellite bands.
