In the past two years, the hottest technology in the smartphone market, besides AI, is the satellite communication function. Currently, most flagship smartphones support satellite communication, but this function has been absent from the iPhone sold in China.



Recently, a digital blogger broke the news that the Chinese version of the iPhone is testing the satellite communication function. From the test pictures, the use of the satellite communication function of the Chinese version of the iPhone is similar to that of most domestic flagship phones, which requires turning off the cellular network and aiming at the satellite. However, it should be noted that the satellite communication function of the Chinese version of the iPhone may not be able to find picture information like domestic flagship phones, but can only send text messages.



It is reported that the iPhone 14 series of mobile phones have introduced satellite communication technology, allowing users to send SOS emergency help messages to ground rescue agencies via satellite in the absence of cellular network and wireless LAN signals, and supports shared positioning. Satellite communication technology allows mobile phones to keep in touch with the outside world in special environments such as remote areas, at sea, in the air or at disaster sites, and has the advantage of wide coverage.
