Everything Apple iOS 18 Will Do, Android Already Does
(gizmodo.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Android can do satellite messaging? Android phone makers are shipping on device LLMs?
I'm not an Apple fanboy nor do I use an iPhone currently but this headline is ridiculous.
Perhaps in software, but I don't think there is a current phone that has the hardware to take advantage. For now, this is essentially an Apple only feature. It's a pretty good bet we are going to see some flagships released with it in the next year though.
I know that Pixel 7's and above support it. There are Reddit posts showing they have the feature already. Satellite messaging is just using standard 4G/LTE from Starlink. I wouldn't be surprised if this is only an OS update away for most newer phones.
That's pretty cool, I assumed they needed additional hardware. Thanks.
