Sources say that Apple's iPhone can directly call satellite phone and surf the Internet in the future.

CTOnews.com, July 1, according to FCC documents disclosed by Apple partner Globalstar, imply that Apple's future iPhone can directly call a satellite phone and surf the Internet via satellite.

In the FCC file, Globalstar refutes T-Mobile 's view that "mainstream consumer-grade devices do not support the acceptance of Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) signals."

CTOnews.com translator Globalstar's view is as follows: through the continuous development of its MSS system, the company can enable ordinary smartphones to directly access a variety of satellite functions and services.

Globalstar already provides satellite services for the iPhone 14 series, but currently only sends emergency SOS text messages via satellite when traditional cellular services are not accessible.

CTOnews.com previously reported that many competitors, including AT&T and AST SpaceMobile, are trying to access the Internet by satellite on consumer phones.
