The iPhone 14 ushers in a massive function. Is there no signal?

Recently, the news about the iPhone 14 has been one wave after another. As the press conference gets closer, there are more and more news about the iPhone 14. This short edition brings you Let's have a look at the relevant information about the functions of iPhone 14 in satellite communication

Introduction to iPhone 14 features

Recently, according to the latest information from Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman, Apple plans to launch satellite call function for iPhone 14 and Apple Watch.

Mark Gurman said that the new satellite call function is mainly divided into two parts.

First, when there is no cellular signal at the user's location, the user can send a message to emergency services and contacts through the satellite network. This message will be displayed in the form of a gray bubble in the short message.

Second, users can ask the local government or rescue team for help through satellite communication. For example, when there are accidents, ship or aircraft accidents, the system will ask users whether they need rescue services.

At the same time, it is expected that Apple will also launch this function for the Apple Watch, allowing users to send emergency messages directly on the Apple Watch.

It was previously reported that Apple would launch a low power consumption mode for watchOS 9, perhaps also to improve battery life, so as to better use this function.

In this way, iOS 16 may introduce a similar low power consumption mode to support satellite communication functions.

This ensures that the iPhone has sufficient power to support the use of satellite communications in extreme environments.

In fact, this is not the first exposure of Apple's satellite communication function.

As early as last year, before the official launch of the iPhone 13 series, Guo Mingxuan had brought the news that the iPhone 13 would support satellite phone functions for emergency communications in some regions.

Guo Mingxuan said that Apple is very optimistic about the future trend of satellite communications, and has set up a specific team to research and develop related technologies.

When there is no network coverage, users can also call and receive messages through satellite communication.

Although this feature was not later introduced in the iPhone 13 series, many users are still looking forward to it.

From the practical point of view, although this function is difficult to use at ordinary times, once encountering an accident and being in an extreme environment, this function can save lives at a critical moment.

If this information is true, the satellite call function should be first introduced in the United States. Whether it will be online in China is still unknown.

However, if this function is really available, it will further expand the iPhone's signal reception capability, which is definitely a good thing for users.

In addition, Bloomberg said that the satellite connection function will depend on local regulation and availability, and Apple will not launch this function in every country and region.

Therefore, the domestic fans may be disappointed, which means that the iPhone with this function may be blocked or cancelled.

The above is about the specific content of the iPhone 14 in satellite communications. It can be seen that Apple has made great changes in the iPhone 14 in terms of communications. Although there is no official announcement, there are still many fans waiting for this function.
