European report:
One week later, on September 17, Apple will hold this year's new product launch. At the end of August, Apple’s supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo once broke the iPhone 13 will likely have a low-orbit satellite call function built-in. So for a while, rumors about the iPhone 13 going to "go to heaven" were flying everywhere, and even many fans began to show off: "Apple is going to be slammed this time so it is an Android manufacturer!"
Huawei also I was stepped on by the limit, after all, even 5G had to be "castrated" due to the lack of core.
But Apple is too early to brag this time. According to reliable sources, Apple is indeed developing a satellite communication plan. ’s mass-produced iPhone 13 will not support this function . After all, satellite communication is easier said than done. It requires not only technical support but also policy permission. In the short term, it will be almost impossible for Apple to have mature equipment and supply chain to support iPhone implementation.
Guo Mingchi's revelation is likely to create momentum for the iPhone 13 and Apple's new product launch.
is in stark contrast to Apple’s “light thunder but not rain”. Huawei is doing great things in silence this time. According to reports, the first batch of mobile phones with Beidou short message function will be on the market at the end of this year. It is mentioned that the satellite short message function of Beidou-3 has matured and is ready to be popularized.
So by the end of the year will the mobile phone equipped with Beidou short message function be whose product? first,As a purely domestic positioning system, Beidou will definitely choose domestic brands; secondly, companies that have a sufficient foundation and audience in the current communications industry are none other than Huawei.
Huawei's next-generation Mate flagship model will likely try the Beidou short message function for the first time, and it happens that the release date of Huawei Mate 50 is at the end of the year. Therefore, many people in the industry believe that Huawei will preempt Apple, and the Mate 50 series will be the first to implement satellite communication functions.
Apple can't do it, Huawei can do it this time. But in terms of facts, even if Huawei Mate 50 is really equipped with Beidou short message function, it may be somewhat different from everyone's expectations. "Satellite communications" can theoretically be able to send and receive signals in any corner of the world, covering all unpopulated areas, oceans, volcanoes, and disaster areas. Most people associate satellite communications with "card-less phone calls" or even "card-less Internet access". In fact, is actually the most advanced Beidou navigation system , and it can only do "satellite messaging" , that is It is a short message function, which can transmit 1000 Chinese characters (14000 bits each time).
Therefore, Apple had previously been overwhelmingly promoting the low-orbit satellite communication, and the iPhone 13 bundled marketing. This is indeed an exaggeration, most of which is for blogging. Moreover, the large-scale commercial use of satellite communications is not realistic, and most of them are used to save lives at critical moments. In particular, the cost of satellite communication is definitely far greater than the cost of ordinary communication, and most people can't afford it. doesn't mean that you can afford satellite communication if you buy an iPhone.
