How Apple Is Quietly Building a Satellite Network

from Mac and Apple with Fexingo: macOS, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Ecosystem Conversations · host Fexingo

Episode 32 of Mac and Apple with Fexingo explores Apple's quietly expanding satellite ambitions, moving beyond emergency SOS to data connectivity and global coverage. Lucas and Luna break down the timeline from the iPhone 14's SOS feature to recent FCC filings, partnerships with Globalstar and SpaceX, and what a proprietary satellite network could mean for the Apple ecosystem — including future devices like the Apple Watch and Vision Pro. They discuss the competitive landscape against Starlink, Amazon's Project Kuiper, and T-Mobile's AST SpaceMobile deal. Specific numbers include the $1.5 billion investment in Globalstar, the 24 new satellites approved in 2025, and the estimated $3 billion annual revenue opportunity by 2030. The episode also touches on regulatory hurdles, latency issues, and the strategic play for off-grid connectivity. No clickbait, just the actual filings and strategic logic behind Apple's most ambitious infrastructure bet. #Apple #Satellite #Globalstar #Starlink #SpaceX #ProjectKuiper #ASTSpaceMobile #T-Mobile #FCC #iPhone #AppleWatch #VisionPro #EmergencySOS #SatelliteInternet #OffGrid #Connectivity #Technology #FexingoBusiness Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
