With the approach of the official announcement of the upcoming iPhone phones from the American company, the iPhone 14, which will be launched on September 7, many reports have emerged confirming that the upcoming phones will contain the satellite communication feature, which will be the first of its kind across smart phone companies.
Images of the planet Earth, the solar system and the satellites used in the announcement of the new operating system (IOS 16) have raised speculation about the intention of Apple to announce a feature that it has long discussed internally, which is to enable the phone to make some communications without the Internet or a phone line at all.
The company has been planning for some time to add satellite communication capabilities to its devices, including an emergency texting feature and a mechanism for reporting major accidents in places without cellular service.
Some current Apple devices have a feature to quickly call emergency services and provide them with the location of the phone in case of emergency, but the new feature planned, will allow phone owners to call emergency services from remote mountains, boats at sea, and other places.
As for the images of the iOS 16 operating system, Apple is expected to include this service through cooperation between T-Mobile mobile services and Starlink, owned by American billionaire Elon Musk, in order to provide communication services in remote places that T services are not available.
These plans open possibilities for iPhones to be able to connect to the Internet and make regular phone calls via satellite links, and the company has already discussed internally increasing the satellite capabilities of the Apple Watch.
And leaked images of iPhone 14 designs showed what appears to be a change in the shape of the top part of the screen, known as the “notch.”
According to “Forbes”, several leaks indicate the replacement of this part with two holes.
The leaks also indicate that Apple has moved the signal of the strength of the Internet and the battery down a little.
While some question the validity of this leak, others indicate that “Apple” has recently obtained a new patent that enables it to redirect infrared radiation towards the face, which is a key part of the technology used by the “iPhone” to identify the face of its owner and unlock the face. phone him.
Some have linked this patent to Apple’s ability to reduce the “notch” while maintaining the same effectiveness in facial recognition. In this scenario, the iPhone would still be able to read faces, but with a larger screen area.
Forbes has ruled out getting rid of the “notch” or its alternatives soon, as “Apple” refuses to use cameras that work behind the screen so far, which are available in other phones, due to their weak capabilities compared to regular cameras.
