True, but not all phones have satellite capability. Even the iPhone 13 Pro Max won’t have satellite messaging

Actually, carrier-based satellite service using Starlink (like T-Mobile in the US, Vodafone in New Zealand, and some others) support the iPhone 13 and Galaxy S22 series. It's interesting that Apple’s 1st-party satellites don't support iPhone 13s even though they are capable of doing satellite service…

What happened to “95% of this stuff has been here for years”? Did Apple actually make a feature that is better than Android?

I didn't really watch WWDC but I did look at some of the demos. The satellite messaging stuff looks pretty cool, I wasn't saying Google was doing it better.

More satellite stuff is always good, because people get saved from danger all the time by the Apple stuff. So it’s good
