  • Apple, T-Mobile and SpaceX are reportedly teaming up to bring Starlink to iPhone users
  • This would add another satellite connectivity option for Apple fans
  • It’s currently in beta testing for small numbers of T-Mobile customers

Apple has offered satellite connectivity to its iPhone users for a couple years now, and it can help you out when you don’t have access to cell service. But that soon might not be the only type of satellite connection on offer to iPhone users, according to a new report from Bloomberg.

The website claims that Apple is in secret talks with SpaceX and T-Mobile US to add support for Starlink’s satellite network. In fact, the latest iOS 18.3 update, which was released on January 27, apparently contains “under-the-radar” support for Starlink, Bloomberg says.
