The Apple 'Far Out' event on Wednesday featured the introduction of the iPhone series 14. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, disclosed his company's plans and "promising conversations" with Apple for employing Starlink communication for the new satellite function announced in the most recent iPhone series the day following the launch. If the two firms go ahead with the idea, this will be the first partnership between Musk's companies and Apple, though the Cupertino-based tech giant has not confirmed Musk's claims. The billionaire termed Apple's iPhone team "very clever."
On September 7, Apple unveiled Emergency SOS via Satellite at the "Far Out" event. Users of the iPhone 14 series will be able to access emergency services through satellite networks in locations where conventional cellular reception is inadequate thanks to the functionality, which is scheduled to go on sale in November. For the time being, Apple and Globalstar are working together to power the satellite system.
On September 8, one day after the launch, Elon Musk tweeted that his business SpaceX "had some good conversations with Apple about Starlink communication." Musk made the declaration in a tweet reply.
It's unclear if the discussions are still ongoing. Apple and SpaceX have not yet responded to Musk's assertions.
In the meantime, Musk's SpaceX and US wireless provider T-Mobile just announced satellite connectivity. This will make it possible for T-Mobile network users to send texts in places without cellular coverage by connecting to SpaceX satellites.
