Starlink Connectivity

Apple has been working with SpaceX and T-Mobile to bring Starlink satellite support to iPhones. This means when a T-Mobile iPhone has no network, it will attempt to connect to Starlink satellites automatically. Unlike Apple’s existing satellite service which requires users to point their phone at the sky, Starlink will work even when the phone is in the user’s pocket. For now, this service is limited to text messaging, but SpaceX and T-Mobile plan to add voice and data services in the future.

Limited Availability For Now

Currently, the Starlink feature is only available in the US. Apple’s existing satellite service, which works with Globalstar, is supported in multiple countries. However, SpaceX aims to expand Starlink connectivity to other carriers worldwide.

iOS 18.3: Other Key Features

Aside from satellite connectivity, iOS 18.3 introduces several other useful features:

  • Calculator Update: The repeated operations feature from iOS 17, which was removed in iOS 18, has now been reinstated.
  • Camera Improvements: iPhone 16 users get enhanced controls, allowing them to lock Auto Exposure and Auto Focus with a simple press and hold.
  • Visual Intelligence: Users can scan posters with dates and locations to create calendar events instantly. This feature also helps identify plants and animals in real time.
  • Notification Tweaks: Summarized notifications now appear in italics.
  • Genmoji Enhancements: Apple has made it easier to create and use Genmoji in Messages and other apps.
