No, Apple didn’t just ‘install’ Elon Musk’s Starlink on everyone’s iPhone
Contrary to what you may have heard on TikTok, Apple did not just “install” Elon Musk’s Starlink on every iPhone. The short explanation is that the iPhone is capable of using Starlink, just like any mobile service provider. More specifically, though, Starlink support on iPhone […]

Contrary to what you may have heard on TikTok, Apple did not just “install” Elon Musk’s Starlink on every iPhone.
The short explanation is that the iPhone is capable of using Starlink, just like any mobile service provider. More specifically, though, Starlink support on iPhone is limited to a single carrier for customers in the United States for now.
It’s not a direct partnership between Apple and Starlink. Instead, T-Mobile is using its 1900MHz (band 25) spectrum to provide additional coverage using Starlink, and the iPhone supports band 25. There’s nothing special in iOS 18.3 beyond supporting the latest version of T-Mobile’s network. Apple itself has not partnered with Starlink in any capacity.
However, if T-Mobile customers want to opt out of using Starlink on iPhone, there’s a way to disable using the functionality.

One or more backup bugs in macOS 15.2 Sequoia is affecting Apple’s own Time Machine utility, as well as third-party apps SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner.

In today’s Apple accessory landscape, it seems to be getting harder and harder to make a product that has not been made before. There are so many brands, so much competition and only so many types of accessories that are needed. But all that competition ends up being great for the consumer because it forces brands to think outside of the box. That is exactly what Nomad did with their new Universal Cable for Apple Watch. Again, I have never seen a cable look like this or do what it does.

I was someone who grew up with a Gameboy Color in my hands. I would play games like Pokemon, Ray-Man, and Super Mario until my fingers cramped. So, last year, when Apple opened the gates and allowed emulator apps like Delta into the App Store, I was all over it. It was awesome playing my old games on my iPhone. Although the app does a great job with haptic feed to mimic physical buttons, there is really nothing like the real thing. So when I saw the GAMEBABY at CES this year, I knew I had to get my hands on it.
