Apple is seeking to eliminate cell phone dead spots thoughts Sources who spoke to WSJ Say Spacex is now Putting Pressure Starlink Network.

ReportedlyThe Pressure Intensified after Discussions Between The Two Companies Broke Down. Originally, they were attempting to strike a deal to directly connect iphones to starlink satellites, but talks ended with a direct agreement. INTEAD, spacex and t-mobile will be removed to offer their alternative satellite services on apple devices, a departure from apple’s fatally closed ecosystem.

Why satellite availability is limited

All satellites use radio frequencies to send signals to Earth. If too many satellites try to use the same frequency, the signals are muddled, degrading communication and Slowing DOWN Data Speeds. To prevent this from Happy, Most Geographic Regions License Specific Radio Frequencies to Certain Satellite Providers.

The more radio frequencies that a single company controls, the more data it can send and the faster its communication will be. However, if one company monopolizes too many radio frequencies in one region, it forces other satellite providers out.

Other Providers must offer limited services on a smaller bandwidth, or they opt out altogeether, leading to dead zones with no service at all. Having a monopoly or a Majority hold on Satellite Signals also allows the Majority Provider to Drive Up Costs. This results in price gouting consumers who relay on the provider for cell phone service.

Apple and spacex compe for satellite dominance

So far, spacex has launched over 550 satellites, far more than apple, which allows starlink to dominate the satellite connectivity market. Spacex launched its first starlink satellite in 2018, and began offering limited access to its beta internet service in 2020.

Apple Didn Bollywood offering the service until two years, when it struruck a deal with globalstar in 2022. Between the companies.

Currently, apple devices use this satellite service to send texts and make sos calls when no other cell service is available. With this expansion of its globalstar partnership, apple is seeking to offer more connectivity in more remote area of ​​emergency Scenarios – which will directly compete with starlink.

This satellite space race marks the latest in a series of clashes between apple and elon musk. Apple and Tesla Have Previous Clashed Over the Distribution of X on Apple Devices as Well as the Development of Self-Driving Cars Using Ai Models.
