iPhone 13 will support satellite connectivity

There is a lot of news being shared on the internet about the latest member of the iPhone generation. The special news that was reported there was that the iPhone 13 will be able to make satellite calls. This was first revealed by Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple forecaster, and analyst. He gathers intelligence through connections in Apple's Asian supply chain and translates the information he obtains into research notes for clients. His predictions about future Apple products are accurate enough to make Apple a more reliable source for news.

In a note to investors, Kyo says the iPhone 13 can connect directly to low-Earth orbit (or LEO) thanks to a customized Qualcomm X60 baseband chip. It allows users to make calls and send messages when there are no cell signals.
There is no definite statement on the Internet as to whether this feature will work only with Apple's iMessage and FaceTime applications, or whether third-party applications will be able to use the new technology.
