  • The first feature is called Emergency Message via Satellite and will be added as a third protocol, alongside iMessage and SMS, to the Messages app. It's apparently codenamed Stewie inside the company and will allow users to text emergency services even when there's no signal, which sounds especially useful during emergencies in remote locations, such as mountains and forests.

    Apple is also reportedly working on a second satellite feature that will allow users to report crisis situations like plane crashes and fires. This system will give users a way to report the incident at length and will ask them specifics, such as if anybody needs search-and-rescue services or if anybody in the vicinity is armed.

    It is now quite clear that main goal is the coordinated attack on censorship walls in China, Russia, Iran and so on.

    In next few years it will become standard feature.

  • Apple plans to let you connect your iPhone to satellites so you can contact emergency services in areas that don’t have cellular coverage.

  • Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is claiming the iPhone 13 will have the ability to make satellite calls built right in.

    Kuo claims that the iPhone 13 will be able to connect directly to low earth orbit (or LEO) satellites thanks to a customized Qualcomm X60 baseband chip.

    If this rumor is true the X60 would likely be supporting another element of 5G, which is currently comprised of a whole mix of technologies, including the ultrafast but limited range millimeter-wave and the more widespread, but slower C-Band. LEO 5G would provide support in places that don’t yet have towers beaming down the other forms of 5G speed—particularly useful in many rural areas that often struggle to get 3G or 4G connectivity.

    it also means that now your smartphone will be able to send information pockets and your whereabouts without you knowing and without any domestic providers also knowing it.

  • New leaks suggest that Apple revised iPhone 13 lineup prices due to constant chips price revisions.

    It is not clear how big will be price hike, but common number cited tells about 25-30% compared to similar iPhone 12 models last year.

  • The next generation iPhones will get a triple rear camera and video recording capabilities, which the company believes will be a major incentive to update older models.

    In particular, the new smartphones will support portrait mode not only when taking photos, but also in videos, which will allow you to create videos with bokeh effect.

    The Phone 13 Pro will support ProRes video recording, offering better results for professionals and more editing options in post-production. The Apple ProRes format was developed by Apple over a decade ago and now supports resolutions up to 8K.

  • All models will feature sensor based stabilization. But it won't improve much. Only software part will be better (for video).

    It won't be on all cameras, of course.
