As the flagship phone of the year under Apple , the iPhone 14 series has attracted the attention of many consumers. On September 16, three new iPhone 14 series phones were officially launched, bringing the main highlights of satellite communication technology, Lingdong Island function, car accident detection and other main highlights, attracting the attention and purchase of many users. However, on the sixth day after the iPhone 14 series was officially launched, a digital blogger broke the news online that "iPhone 14 cannot use satellite communications in China, and it has great limitations, and users in China almost never have the chance to use it." The news attracted the attention and discussion of many netizens.

revealed that iPhone 14 cannot use satellite communication in China

html On September 21, the digital blogger @ Factory Director is a classmate Guan. It was revealed that all models of the iPhone 14 series domestic version do not have satellite communication capabilities. At the same time, all satellite communication modules in China have been removed, and even if they go to the United States and Canada, they cannot use satellite communication functions.

It is reported that the satellite communications of the iPhone 14 series do not use GPS, but an American satellite communications company called "Global Star". The communications company has a total of 48 satellites + 8 backup satellites. The orbital heights of these satellites are about 1,420 kilometers, which belongs to the low-orbit satellite .

If the iPhone 14 series wants to realize satellite communication, it is necessary to establish corresponding ground sites in China, but according to the current situation, it is almost impossible. The satellite communication of Huawei Mate 50 uses Beidou satellite, but according to the current situation, Apple is almost impossible to be allowed to use Beidou satellite.

This means that the satellite communication function promoted by the iPhone 14 series is actually useless for Chinese users and does not meet the conditions for use.

Apple China official website removes satellite communication promotion

On Apple's official website, the promotion of the iPhone 14 series in the mainland Chinese version and the American version is also significantly different.

On the official website of Apple China , the introduction of the iPhone 14 series does not have the relevant publicity of satellite communications, while on the official website of Apple's US, the introduction of the iPhone 14 series clearly mentions the promotion of satellite communications. The two completely different publicity also shows that the iPhone 14 series domestic version does not have satellite communication function, which is undoubtedly bad news for many users who are working for this function.

As the name suggests, the satellite communication function refers to the function that mobile phones can directly realize communication through satellite technology. This function is a necessary function for users who often cross mountains and rivers, travel in the suburbs and explore. For many ordinary users, the satellite communication function can be said to be an important function to increase the probability of rescue in critical moments. Now the iPhone 14 series of domestic versions cannot support this function, which inevitably disappoints users.

ending

Judging from the revelations of digital bloggers and the behavior of Apple's official website removing satellite communication functions, it is almost a foregone conclusion that the iPhone 14 series domestic version cannot use satellite communication functions. In this way, the Huawei Mate 50 series next door is the only satellite communication mobile phone available to our Chinese users. Obviously, this situation is bad news for Apple phones, so Apple did not actively announce it, and many users were not aware of it. This is good news for the Huawei Mate 50 series, which also shows that the iPhone 14 is still inferior to the Mate 50 in terms of communication capabilities. What do you think about this?
