Satellite-based internet will be offered on a lot more major airline flights soon.

While Apple and SpaceX have no direct arrangement over Starlink satellite-based internet connectivity, a new report highlights two reasons why that could change in the future. The report also highlights a hardware change that could arrive with next year’s iPhone 18 Pro.

T-Mobile has been testing a beta version of its T-Satellite service with customers for several weeks now. Starting next month, the beta period will start to wind down as satellite connectivity officially launches as a paid service. Beyond the commercial launch, T-Mobile has also announced when the service will expand beyond text message support to include data.
