Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) has joined forces with Elon Musk's SpaceX and T-Mobile US Inc. (NASDAQ:TMUS) to bring Starlink satellite texting capabilities to iPhones.

蘋果公司(納斯達克:AAPL)已與埃隆·馬斯克的SpaceX(臨時代碼)和T-Mobile US公司(納斯達克:TMUS)聯手,將Starlink衛星短信功能帶到iPhone上。

What Happened: Apple has integrated the Starlink satellite network into its latest iPhone software update iOS 18.3, released on Monday, reported Bloomberg.

發生了什麼:蘋果已將Starlink衛星網絡集成到其最新的iPhone軟體更新iOS 18.3中,該更新於週一發佈,彭博社報道。

T-Mobile has initiated a limited beta test, allowing some iPhone users to experience the Starlink service.

T-Mobile已啓動有限的測試,允許一些iPhone用戶體驗Starlink服務。

Participants in the beta received messages from T-Mobile, informing them of their inclusion in the Starlink program. The company said that the test will initially support select smartphones, with plans to expand to more devices, the report noted.

參與測試的用戶收到了T-Mobile的消息,通知他們被納入Starlink計劃。該公司表示,測試最初將支持特定智能手機,並計劃擴展到更多設備,報告指出。

Currently, the Starlink service is limited to texting, but SpaceX and T-Mobile aim to include data and voice capabilities in the future.

目前,Starlink服務僅限於短信,但SpaceX和T-Mobile計劃在未來加入數據和語音功能。

The service is available only in the U.S. for now, contrasting with Apple's satellite connectivity provider Globalstar (AMEX:GSAT) service, which operates in multiple countries.

該服務目前僅在美國可用,而蘋果的衛星連接供應商全球星(美交所:GSAT)服務則在多個國家運營。

Why It Matters: This partnership marks a significant shift, as T-Mobile had previously only mentioned Starlink compatibility with Samsung Electronics Co. (OTC:SSNLF) devices.

爲什麼這很重要:這次合作標誌着一個重大的變化,因爲T-Mobile之前只提到過與三星電子(場外交易:SSNLF)設備的Starlink兼容性。

The Apple satellite service is supported on most modern iPhone models, and the company is also planning to introduce it on the Ultra smartwatch later this year, the report noted.
