The latest reports indicate that the iPhone 18 Pro will be Apple's first model to integrate satellite 5G thanks to the new C2 modem, designed in-house by the company. This chip would mark the definitive abandonment of Qualcomm in favor of in-house solutions and would allow:

Nearly total coverage: even in areas without traditional mobile signal, reducing "dead spots" in connectivity.

Faster speeds and greater stability than the current emergency satellite functions (which today only allow sending basic messages).

Advanced use of the satellite network, opening the door to more complete applications that go beyond emergency messaging.

In other words, the iPhone 18 Pro would not only expand coverage but transform satellite connectivity into an everyday experience, not limited to emergencies.
