This thread is about Starlink but your comment is about Apple/Globalstar which is a completely different and incompatible system.


GP is (I believe) replying to an iPhone-specific remark in my original comment.

I've brought up Apple/Globalstar because it serves as a baseline for what's already possible, as well as it being a likely future competitor.

And I wouldn't read too much into (in)compatibility at this point: Neither Starlink nor Apple have disclosed how their respective solutions actually work. Starlink might function as a "dumb pipe" analog frequency-shifting relay just like Globalstar.
