Rumors suggest that Apple’s partner, Globalstar, could enhance its Emergency SOS via Satellite service with the help of SpaceX.
A $64 million deal between Globalstar and SpaceX has been reported, which involves launching satellites into space in 2025 to improve the emergency SOS capabilities.
SpaceX and Globalstar have previously collaborated, with SpaceX assisting in satellite launches for Globalstar.
This partnership benefits Apple because the iPhone 14 and future models utilize Globalstar satellites for the Emergency SOS feature.
Currently available in various countries, this service could expand further thanks to this collaboration.
Additionally, Apple has been granted a patent suggesting it may explore broader satellite features beyond emergency services in the future.
