iPhone 18 Pro Tipped to Support 5G Satellite Connectivity With Apple's C2 Modem
The iPhone 18 Pro series, expected to launch with Apple’s upcoming C2 modem, could support NR-NTN satellite 5G connectivity, according to a tipster. The technology could allow iPhones to connect to low-Earth orbit satellites for internet access beyond traditional networks. NR-NTN may enable direct satellite links or carrier backhaul coverage. Apple currently limits satellite use to Emergency SOS and messaging. The leak suggests broader satellite features could arrive, with 2026 seen as a key adoption point.
