I think it&#x27;s possible that Apple will buy Globalstar or somehow offer emergency messaging via satellite. It&#x27;s even possible that Apple will offer some sort of satellite voice service, again possibly for emergency use only.<p>I&#x27;m much more skeptical about the idea of Apple trying to compete with normal cell carriers. The trend in wireless is to go to small cells so that a carrier can offer high bandwidth service (like 5G) to customers. A satellite would have an effective cell radius of several hundred km, and would not be able to offer broadband service to everyone in a densely-populated area.

I’ve been wondering for a while when Apple was going to launch its own mobile network. It just seemed like a matter of time, especially considering that Google’s already active in that space. Apple likes to redesign product categories that are broken and frustrating—the Apple Card being one example—and I think most of us hate dealing with our mobile providers. I know I do; the Verizon site is horrible. I doubt Apple likes having someone else’s shoddy UX coloring the process of buying and managing their mobile devices, and given how creepy the current wireless carriers are, I could see Apple pitching their own network as the privacy-friendly alternative.<p>It’s Apple, so who knows what they’ll do, but having their own mobile service makes a lot of sense to me.

...Apple might announce its satellite plans at next week’s World Wide Developer Conference OR at the iPhone 14 announcement...
