iPhone 13 can make calls without needing a mobile signal 6
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a famous analyst who has given a lot of accurate information about Apple’s unannounced products, the iPhone 13 will be supplemented with a new radio technology, the ability to connect to high-range orbital satellites.
The above information given by Kuo is based on the fact that the iPhone 13 will use a customized version of the Snapdragon X60 modem chip produced by Qualcomm.
iPhone 13 is not the first smartphone to support satellite connection, but if the rumors come true, this will be the first popular smartphone model in the world to have this ability.
There is currently no information on what Apple needs to deploy and develop for the antenna system to support satellite connections because this system is different from current LTE or 5G antennas.
In addition, some sources believe that this feature, if implemented by Apple, will likely only be applied to texting and emergency calling with rescue services when there is no network signal, instead of
Kuo also predicts that Apple may use LEO connectivity on its AR headset, Apple Car, and other IoT products in the future.

Besides, according to Chinese technology blog My Drivers, the two versions of iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max will have double the internal memory compared to last year.
Apple will keep the price of the 128 GB version unchanged from last year in China at 8,499 yuan (30 million VND) for 13 Pro and 9,299 yuan (32.7 million VND) for 13 Pro Max.
Meanwhile, the 512 GB versions of iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max are expected to be sold for 10,499 yuan (37 million VND) and 11,299 yuan (39.8 million VND), respectively, cheaper than 11,099 yuan.
The 1 TB version alone will be much more expensive, with the iPhone 13 Pro costing 13,299 yuan (46.8 million VND) and the 13 Pro Max costing 14,099 yuan (49.6 million VND).
iPhones in China are inherently more expensive than other markets due to additional taxes of up to 26%.
iPhone 13 is expected to have a hardware upgrade with the Apple A15 Bionic chip manufactured on the 5 nm+ process, supporting high-speed 5G mmWare network.
The new generation iPhone is expected to launch on September 14 and go on sale 10 days later.
