Recently, the boom in the mobile phone circle is wave after wave, the topic of "folding screen" has not yet gone down, and new topics have come. This is not, as the "big brother" of the mobile phone industry, Apple can't rub the heat of the "folding screen" then make it yourself!
Apple rushed to Weibo with the topic of #iPhone14 or support satellite network connection#.
According to Xiaobian, the satellite connection function may be released as early as this year's iPhone 14 series. This technology will also be introduced into the Apple Watch. In the absence of a signal, users can also send emergency text messages and SOS distress functions through the iPhone device, or the Apple Watch they wear.
How about this function, then follow the small editor and then look down!
Connected to it is a satellite phone
The simple understanding of this function is that when there is no network coverage in the user's area, it is possible to send text messages to emergency services and contacts through the satellite network. The distress SMS will be different from sms and iMessage in that the chat bubbles are gray instead of colored, and the length of the message will be limited.
In this way, there are car accidents, ship crashes, plane crashes, fires, natural disasters, etc. Crisis events can be reported to the relevant departments in a timely manner.
The BNP version is hopeless
As soon as a message came out, Xiaobian saw many netizens say: "Don't think about it, there is no hope for the National Bank version."
Although Apple has a communication license in China, it can only provide access and communication services, but it is not qualified as an operator, and it is indeed impossible to provide more service permissions, for regulatory and usability considerations, it is indeed very difficult to implement this function in every country and region.
Before the release of the iPhone 13, Apple analyst Guo Mingji broke the news that the hardware of the iPhone 13 will support low-orbit satellite communications. However, after the release of the iPhone 13 series in September, there was no related function released, but it can be inferred that Apple's function is in the state of development.
Therefore, even if the National Bank version of the iPhone 14 supports satellite calls, we ordinary users generally can't use it, or just look at it
Say at the end
Although there is no specific response from the authorities, the iPhone 14 series in June has already aroused the appetite of many people. I hope that when the time comes to release, Apple will not be "snapped in the face"!
And Xiaobian found that many netizens do not have great expectations for this function, or expect Apple to quickly solve the signal problem on the ground!
