Will the New iPhone 13 Be a Satellite Communicator (like an inReach)?

Will the iPhone 13 Work Like an inReach?
What Satellite System Will It Use?

Word on the Macrumors street is that the new iPhone (coming out Sep?) will have capabilities to communicate with LEO satellites, just like inReach units do. Having this built into the iPhone would eliminate the need for a separate device like an inReach. In this video I’ll go over the possibilities, and if the iPhone 13 does indeed have this, I’ll review it as soon as possible.

This Guide Was Written by Cris Hazzard

Hi, I’m Cris Hazzard, aka Hiking Guy, a professional outdoors guide, National Recreation Trails (NRT) Ambassador, and author based in Southern California. I created this website to share all the great hikes I do with everyone else out there. This site is different in that it gives very detailed directions that even the beginning hiker can follow. I share the hiking tricks and tips that I’ve learned over the years to fast-track you into a hiking pro. And I tell you what hiking gear works and what gear doesn’t so you don’t waste your money.
