Fast Technology news on June 11th, Apple released iOS 18 today, adding many practical functions.

Among them, the satellite communication function has also undergone an epic upgrade, finally catching up with Huawei two years ago.

The iOS 18 system extends satellite communication functions to iMessage and text messaging applications, whereas previously it was limited to SOS emergency contact, which could only automatically contact rescue services and could not perform other communications.

Compared with previous versions, the practicality of the new satellite text messaging function has greatly increased, and it is no longer a useless function that most people cannot use.

In fact, the current iPhone satellite communication has not completely caught up with Huawei Mate50 two years ago.

At that time, Huawei Mate50 series globally launched satellite communication, which not only allowed sending messages but also could locate through Beidou satellites, send accurate coordinate information and generate trajectory maps.

Nowadays, Huawei has achieved richer and more practical functions such as two-way satellite messaging and satellite phone calls.
