We have been talking for several months about the arrival ofiPhone with satellite connectivity. The problem is that this is only information from analysts or leaks not confirmed by Apple itself. It is therefore impossible to be sure, and even less to know when this change, much awaited by some, will arrive.
T-Mobile, one of the main American operators, has just announced a historic partnership with SpaceX as part of theprogramme Starlink.

In theory, it is therefore also the end of the “white zones” which is coming. Under this term hide the few rare territories which are not yet covered by any 4G antenna or by any mobile network.

With the end of the white areas, the number ofdisappearanceson the high seas, in immense natural parks or in deserts could then fall drastically. The only drawback, which continues to question specialists: the sky could fall on our heads, in the event of a collision between the satellites which multiply by the hundred above us...
