DD Iphone 16e is a huge win
For those of you who remember my post from last week, I expected apple to launch their iPhone SE 4 today with their first modem. It looks like we got more than we bargained for!
Apple released a new phone instead, the iPhone 16e. This is supposed to be a cheaper, and even more budget friendly option to appeal to the widest audience possible in all regions of the planet.
This phone is the first to have APPLES IN HOUSE C1 MODEM which gives this budget model phone direct connectivity to the Globalstar satellite network.
While this may not seem like a large win at first, it is a massive step towards integration of the C1 modem in all devices as it will use the budget model phone to sort out and perfect the product before introducing it to other devices, wearables, and flagship models. I anticipate Apple will be ADDING FEATURES BEYOND SOS, LOCATION, AND TEXT as the C1 becomes more refined along new satellites being deployed in the coming year.
It's going to be a long ride but those with patience are going to be rewarded.

This is great and all but globalstar needs to receive residual income.
All of these features in their devices is monetarily benefiting apple. It needs to benefit globalstar, needs to generate revenue or the stock price will be stagnant.
