As someone in the military, training environments often leave me cut off from the world, unable to connect with friends and family for weeks at a time. But being able to use satellite texting is an absolute game changer. While it’s not viable for operational use due to safety and security concerns, it’s fantastic for downtime during training. This is one of the many reasons I’m sticking with iOS for the foreseeable future.

Actually, every phone and service provider company are in the process of doing this. Some are partnering with Elon Musk's star link satellites and others are using some other companies. It's great and will save lives. Eventually WIFI will be free all over the world when musk is done covering the whole planet. it's great for social, political and economic reasons for the whole world. Thanks for your service, John.

Just remember to check with your superiors first. Obviously armies around the World have different rules for what Soldiers are allowed to do at ease, but I'm pretty sure this is a feature the British Army won't be permitting personal use of until HQ have assessed this as definitely being operationally compatible. 📜🪖👍 For personal ex-ops communications I can see it being absolutely revolutionary in theory, but I do fear it may prove non-permissible even at ease. There's a lot of security questions over things like that, after all... ⚠

Capitalism rewards the most aggressively greedy people with safety and comfort while sh*tting on the average person. Hopefully humanity will evolve beyond it some day.

Thank you for giving us a more detailed overview on how to use it. I think it is a great extra, that can really come handy. Earlier this year, 18 months after I bought the Apple Watch Ultra, I found myself on the floor after a hard fall and I couldn’t move. The watch came to my rescue, contacting the Police and they in turn called Paramedics. I was so grateful. So I am sure this satellite access will not only help but save people’s lives. It’s one of the new features that encourages me to update to the new iPhone next September. 🥰

@@b2bgood870 I _think_ the idea is that it should give the same feel as normal messaging over iMessage, but there will be some key differences. As the messages have to be compressed and transmissions as short as possible (The primary concern here is keeping data length minimal, and satellite uses MUCH more battery than mobile networks) they'll tend to be batched, so you'll get all pending messages sent to your phone all at once when you connect to the satellite, and any messages you've queued for sending will go up at the same time. ↔ One key limitation to understand is that iMessage *won't* transmit or download attachments, videos or voice notes. The data transfer burden that would incur is extraordinary, and the intent of iMessage over Sat is to maintain simple human connections over SMS-like messages, *not* to deliver a full multimedia experience. 😇

This feature is the primary reason why I may upgrade to the iPhone 16 Pro. I am frequently in the backcountry and currently use a Garmin InReach for communication. The Garmin requires a monthly subscription. I really need for Apple to clarify when this feature will no longer be free and what it will cost so that I can determine if it really is a viable Garmin replacement.

Google confirmed that Android 15 this fall will have satellite connectivity which will work with SMS, MMS, and RCS, so Apple needs to get to work on the RCS part.

They do all over the comments 😂 But don’t realize it’s just typical “empty promises” on Android. Just like every messenger Google ever created and then abandoned 😂

The smartest thing that Google could have ever done was keep Hangouts and add RCS to it. Alternatively, they could have added it to the main Messages app as an alternative, but unfortunately, that never happened.

Do you need a SIM card to use this? Thinking of young family members who have phones but no line, just use it on wifi. This feature could mean they can send a message from the school bus without a SIM card?

I have a satellite phone for emergencies. But every once in a while I test it. It's pretty expensive for just a just in case thing. Pay per minute and pay per text.

Releasing it only in the US, does that mean you must be in USA territory to use it, or that means you must have an US Apple Account but works all over the planet? Or maybe you must have an US carrier?

I'm curious was to whether Find My would work if a fried or family initiated it. I know they can't initiate a message unless they are in a family group or on the emergency list. does this hold true for Find My as well or is it a one shot deal where the sender just uploads a current position?
