Apple’s latest update, iOS 18.5 has now been officially published because it is delivered with many features, bugs and performance improvements. Among the breathtaking upgrades, there is the provision of satellite messaging features based on operators for telephones in the iPhone 13 series which help to extend the features of the phone beyond the standard mobile communication service.
Satellite and iPhone 13 messaging
A major change in mobile connectivity, iOS 18.5 Allows the iPhone 13 iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 pro and iPhone 13 pro series to use satellite messaging features that are facilitated by the T-Mobile Starlink service. This is a significant realization because it allows users to send and receive messages in locations that do not have cell coverage. Currently, access to this service is free in the United States, and the trial period will soon end in July. Such a movement is practical for the iPhone 13, which is now more versatile, which puts access to satellite communication in users’ hands, which was only available for new iPhone models previously. However, this does not give access to Apple’s own satellite features, including emergency SOs, which are only available on iPhone 14 or more recent models. Although this restriction can annoy some people, the number one mobile phone producer shows the interest in the widening of satellite communication to more of its devices, marking the possible future where this service becomes common for all iPhones.
New features and updates in iOS 18.5
In addition to satellite messaging, iOS 18.5 implies a range of other improvements. Interestingly, the latest overhaul brings a new Pride Harmony wallpaper, which is on the theme in a festive way for the device before the start of the month of pride. In addition, the update makes the email application more precise in sorting the messages and adding a rocking so that you can easily deactivate contact photos. The screen time function has also been a little changed by which parents are informed when their child’s screenword password is used, adding safety and control. In addition, the update corrects a certain number of minor bugs, one of which was as follows: the Apple Vision Pro application would make a black screen. iOS 18.5 also provides new feature called “buy with iPhone”, which will facilitate the content purchase process in the Apple TV application on third -party devices.
Promising updates in iOS
As the scene is set for iOS 19 which must be published this year, analysts speculate that the marriage of satellite functionalities and functions based on AI will mark the next chapter for iPhone technology. It is quite obvious that Apple gets into good position to take the tip of mobile communication, but the competition is rigid. The way Apple will take care of other companies that will aggressively strengthen their capacity for AI and satellite will be very interesting in the future. These updates can allow iPhones to be not only the smartphone of the future, but will allow them to become powerful communication centers connected by satellite.
