Apple is set to introduce a new feature in iOS 18 that allows users to send text messages via satellite. This feature, highlighted by Apple's Product Marketing senior director Kurt Knight, is designed for situations where users are off the grid without cellular or WiFi connectivity. The satellite messaging capability will enable users to stay connected by texting and messaging friends even in remote areas. The feature is expected to be available later this year with the release of iOS 18 and the new iPhone. One of the new features coming to iPhone this fall is the ability to send text messages via satellite, as reported by Amber M. Neely.
