This year's iPhones are already generating a lot of buzzes, especially the Pro variants. This is obviously due to the fact that Apple is anticipated to provide significant advancements with the iPhone 14 Pro models, which the entry-level iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max models might not receive. If the iPhone 14 Pro does indeed support satellite calling and texting, it calls into question the phone's planned debut in India.
However, before we discuss the Indian government's possible objection to the potential iPhone 14 Pro feature, let's take a brief look at the pertinent rumours: The design of the iPhone 14 series is rumoured to have undergone one of the most significant modifications. There are rumours that the iPhone 14 Pro models may forgo the wide notch in favour of a pill-shaped design and a larger screen area. Satellite connectivity is an additional capability that the Pro models are anticipated to include.
Now, that is the function that the iPhone 13 was initially intended to include but ultimately lacked. According to recent sources, the iPhone 14 Pro will be the first Apple phone to have a satellite communication option, allowing users to contact emergency services in locations without a cellular connection.
According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has "finished the hardware development" for the iPhone 14's satellite communication capability. The expert also mentioned that although the feature's actual hardware development was finished for the iPhone 13, the iPhone 14 will be used for its final execution. Kuo also emphasised that Apple and Globalstar have a partnership for the iPhone's satellite capability.
