iOS 18.5 just brought satellite support to older iPhones — but there's a catch
(Image credit: Tom's Guide) iOS 18.5 is coming next week, and it has a surprise feature for those of you still rocking an older iPhone. Or more specifically, those of you that have an iPhone 13 series phone. Almost four years after the phone first got released, satellite connectivity is coming. iPhone 14 was notable for being the first iPhone to support satellite connectivity, with native support that utilized Apple's own system (powered by Globalstar). The iPhone 13 missed out, but now Apple has confirmed that the new update will let the phone connect to carrier-provided satellite service (via Macrumors). Of course this won't be universally available the way it is on iPhone 14. You will need to be signed on for a plan with satellite connectivity if you want your iPhone 13 to connect to communicate via space. Thankfully those are a lot more common than they once were. You may like T-Mobile is a notable example, having partnered up with Starlink to offer satellite messaging for iPhone users. Other carriers, like Verizon, also offer satellite services — but it seems those don't work on iPhone. In fact, Apple's support pages only list T-Mobile as offering carrier satellite connectivity. Which is kind of a bummer. Cell service is probably better than it's ever been right now, but that doesn't mean it's ubiquitous. There are plenty of areas out of major urban spaces that don't have reliable signal, and communicating via satellite is the only way to get in touch with another person. That's especially important in an emergency, and you find yourself needing help — and fast. Satellites could mean the difference between life and death out there. So the fact that Apple is adding extra support for satellite communication to older phones is definitely a good thing. It may only be one phone, and the amount of connectivity is limited, but if it helps save lives then you'll hear no complaints here. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Here's just hoping that more carriers start offering iPhone-compatible satellite plans. And that, hopefully, Apple tries to bring the feature to older devices like iPhone 12 and maybe even iPhone 11, before they stop receiving iOS updates.

Apple iPhone 18 Pro leaks: Expected to debut with under-display face ID in the new model
iPhone 18 Pro to come with under-display face ID: Prepare yourself for some fantastic news, Apple fans! According to recent sources, there will be a major advance in biometric technology in the future iPhone 18 Pro versions, which are the subject of rumors. The iPhone 18 Pro, one of the year's most anticipated smartphones, is projected to have a significant impact on the electronics industry. Fans are excitedly awaiting additional details about this next product because of Apple's dedication to innovation and user experience. We'll explore the most recent rumors and reports about the iPhone 18 Pro in this post, giving you all the information you require. Let's examine it more closely. iPhone 18 series expected launch timeline Although the iPhone 17 series is anticipated to launch in September of this year, there have already been several leaks regarding the iPhone 18 series, which is anticipated to debut in 2026. It is thought that Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models would undergo a major overhaul. iPhone 18 Pro's latest leak Apple iPhone 18 Pro expected to launch in 2026 | Credit: Macrumors According to The Information, which cites people with knowledge of Apple's intentions, the pill-shaped island will be replaced with a single punch-hole cutout on the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. It will hold a front-facing selfie camera and be placed in the top left corner of the screen. Interestingly, it has been stated that Apple would be integrating the required Face ID technology behind the screen for the first time. The pill-shaped cutout that was present on the iPhone 15 series and later will no longer be necessary, thanks to this. A greater screen estate will result from a smaller punch-hole cutout for the front camera. Also Read: iPhone 19 Air to debut with larger screen? Confirmed by Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo Ross Young of DSCC hinted a few days ago that the iPhones of the upcoming year would feature under-screen Face ID. It's unknown if Apple will adopt the new design or drop Dynamic Island features. According to the study, at least one iPhone model in 2027 would have a genuinely edge-to-edge display thanks to the design change made to the iPhone 18 Pro models the following year. This implies that the Cupertino-based tech behemoth would incorporate the front camera and Face ID sensors behind the screen of the 19 Pro versions of the iPhone.

iPhone 19 Air to debut with larger screen? Confirmed by Apple Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo
iPhone 19 Air to come with a larger display: Apple fans, prepare yourself for some amazing news! Fans are curious about the recent revelation that has spawned rumors about the tech giant's plans for its future iPhone series. Insiders claim that Apple is developing a new model that is sure to draw attention. Although specifics are still being worked out, one thing is for sure: this new gadget is creating a lot of talk. What's the latest breakthrough from Apple, and what's behind the hype? In this post, we'll examine the most recent report and what awaits iPhone enthusiasts. Let's examine what appears to be an interesting development in the Apple world in more detail. iPhone 19 Air expected launch timeline iPhone 19 series expected to launch in 2027 | Credit: Macrumors Reputable industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicts that Apple will release a larger-screen iPhone 19 Air in the second half of 2027 on the 20th Anniversary of Apple. As the corporation wants to broaden its iPhone portfolio, this model will be part of Apple's expanding product plan and is expected to replace the iPhone 18 Air, which is expected to appear in 2026.

Although the device's precise dimensions were not revealed, Kuo made it clear in his product schedule that it will provide "a larger display vs. 18 Slim". Kuo most likely uses the term "Slim" to refer to Apple's predicted ultra-thin handset, which we are calling the iPhone 17 Air and the first of which is anticipated this September. With a 6.6-inch screen, the reported iPhone 17 Air is anticipated to be bigger than the iPhone 17 but smaller than the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple's larger plan to broaden its product offerings in response to pressure from competitors seems to include the enlarged Air lineup. "Intense competition, particularly in China," is cited by Kuo as a major factor in Apple's intentions to switch to a bi-annual release cycle in 2026.
