Can I use Qualcomm satellite chips for iPhone 14 in China
At present, it is not possible
The iPhone 14 uses Qualcomm satellite chips to include Apple customized components
On the morning of September 19, Beijing time, it was reported that the disassembly analysis showed that Apple's iPhone 14 used Qualcomm satellite chips, but added Apple customized components in order to realize the most important new functions of this phone.
Satellite communications is an important new feature of the iPhone 14, which can send emergency messages when WiFi and cellular data networks are not available.
Apple said earlier this month that the iPhone 14 includes new hardware to implement the emergency messaging service. Apple plans to launch the service in a software update in November. However, the company did not disclose hardware details related to it.
IFixit's disassembly analysis of the iPhone 14 Pro Max last Friday showed that the phone uses Qualcomm X65 modem chip.
Qualcomm chip provides 5G cellular network connection for this mobile phone, but it can also call the Band n53 frequency used by Globalstar satellites.
Globalstar struck a deal with Apple earlier this month, which will use 85% of its satellite network's communications capabilities to enable the iPhone's latest emergency communications capabilities.
Apple said in a statement that it did use additional proprietary hardware and software in the iPhone 14 to implement the new messaging function.
Apple said: "The iPhone 14 includes customized frequency band components, and the new software is completely designed by Apple. With the cooperation of the two, the emergency SOS communication function can be realized through the new iPhone 14 model."
Qualcomm has not commented on this.
At present, the domestic iPhone 14 is not allowed to use Qualcomm satellite chips. The strength of Apple's mobile phone is very strong, but many small partners also said that the existence of Qualcomm satellite chips does not play a very significant role in their own. And everyone said: if you have the time, first improve the signal problem.
