How Apple Is Quietly Building a Satellite Network

Apple has been launching satellites for years, and while competitors like Starlink focus on rural broadband, Apple's constellation is designed for something far more personal: keeping your iPhone connected when you're off the grid. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore Apple's Globalstar partnership, the growing network of 48 low-earth-orbit satellites, and how features like Emergency SOS via satellite and Messages via satellite are laying the groundwork for a future where cellular dead zones disappear. We also discuss the strategic implications for Apple's services revenue, the potential for satellite-powered Find My and health data relay, and how this infrastructure could become a key differentiator in the next iPhone generation. Along the way, we tie in the economics of space-based connectivity and what it means for the broader tech landscape in mid-2026. #Apple #Satellite #Globalstar #iPhone #EmergencySOS #SatelliteMessaging #Space #Connectivity #Technology #Podcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechTrends #AppleEcosystem #Innovation #Mobile #Starlink #Network Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
