Apple reconsiders iPhone's satellite connectivity features

Apple is reportedly reconsidering its satellite connectivity features for iPhones, potentially scaling back or even discontinuing the service. This follows internal disagreements and external challenges. Initially, Apple considered offering full satellite internet but ultimately partnered with Globalstar for emergency SOS. SpaceX, led by Elon Musk, proposed a more extensive partnership, which Apple rejected, leading to friction. Internal concerns about telecom relationships and regulatory hurdles, along with SpaceX's actions, have contributed to Apple's shifting stance on satellite features. The future of the service remains uncertain.
