SpaceX's cellular Starlink is no longer just for phones; it's now compatible with Apple Watches in Japan and Canada! This groundbreaking development means that users can now send and receive text messages via the Apple Watch's Messages app, thanks to the power of SpaceX's satellite technology. But here's where it gets interesting: this feature is only available to Japanese customers who purchase the cellular version of the Apple Watch and sign up for Au's Starlink Direct service. Meanwhile, in Canada, Rogers Communications offers a free beta version of Cellular Starlink to all users, opening up the possibility of satellite connectivity for Apple Watch owners. The question on everyone's mind is: could T-Mobile bring this capability to the US? With T-Mobile's T-Satellite already supporting over 70 phone models, including the iPhone 13 and iPhone Air, it seems like a strong possibility. This development comes at a time when Apple's satellite partner, Globalstar, is considering selling itself to SpaceX, raising the possibility that SpaceX's cellular Starlink system could play a larger role in Apple products, potentially enabling satellite-powered texting and data transmission to a growing number of Android and iOS apps, and even powering video calls.
