No, IOS update will not give Starlink access to your iPhone
I have good news for all iPhone users hoping to take the IOS 18.3 update. Will no Turn your device into one of the Elon Musk lacquers, even if it includes a T-Mobile just impact support Satellite Satellite StarlinkS
Here’s how this “news” happened: In the last two weeks, social media has expressed horror of a report in Bloomberg last month This was said that Apple and SpaceX “Work Secret” with T-Mobile to add Starlink network support in the latest version of iOS. Now I have no information to say whether the two companies are or not cooperate. But I know that the fear of installing iOS 18.3 and allowing access to Starlink to your iPhone is very exaggerated.
IOS update 18.3 maintain Starlink’s new satellite connectivity Suggestions with T-Mobile. The carrier has announced Beta Launch in a big advertise on SuperbowlAnd any smartphone on any mobile network can try it. T-Mobile’s idea behind Beta is to transform you as a new client for his output offers to the output, so it had to be available for each iPhone compatible with iOS 18.3. So far, this includes the iPhone 14 and more.
The first complaints started from Apple’s maintenance pagesS People claimed to dig up their iPhones if it meant that they agreed with the whims of the Elon. “I don’t want anything to do with Elon Musk (SIC),” writes a user named Noelonmuskplease. This is the number one voted comment on this topic. “The world is scared when Apple is downloading the U2 album on all iPhone to all. Why is this not published anymore? “Another user asked.
Well, here you are. I’m posting it for you. Another user of a Page for different forum support Also asked if there is a way to block the supply of T-Mobile and Starlink’s satellite network so that there is no connection on their device. “Based on who owns Starlink and his attitude towards the privacy of the data, I do not want to contact Starlink under any circumstances,” another user replied. Reddit entered italso.
Then, several Tiktok users went viral with the statement This download of the iOS 18.3 update will put Starlink in your pocket. They told people to linger when updating devices while there was no more information about what was to come. The comments are still strong from people, probably less technically reasonable than strangeness here GizmodoExpressing relief from holding up the update for fear of not complying with Elon Starlink.
I love technological fused on social media and I often quote them in my work. But this is a wild jump from receiving a standard update of the milling software so that it fails to sleep, as the product-seized product has discarded your phone code. But this is also an excellent example of what happens when you live in a world where misinformation grows and quickly gains grip because of fear around an idea. Currently, people are cautious about what is happening high in the US government with Trump, Musk and the rest of the Mayhem-Men group.
What happened is this: people were scared of the idea that their iPhone had a relationship with one of the most hated men on earth. We have seen Tim Cook when taking office of TrumpS We saw how the Silicon Valley recently cow to the latest administration And how easily the largest technology companies have tossed their commitment to diversity, justice and inclusion due to political pressure. Not surprisingly, users would think that Musk is coming for the iPhone. He went to the White House, right?
