苹果申请了一种可拆卸机壳和可移动天线的专利，旨在增强iPhone和iPad的卫星连接，有望通过近地轨道卫星实现更广泛的宽带和紧急服务。 Apple files patent for a removable case with a movable antenna to boost satellite connectivity on iPhones and iPads, potentially enabling broader broadband and emergency services via low-Earth orbit satellites.

苹果公司已申请一个可移动的可移动天线案件专利,该天线旨在改善iPhones和iPads的卫星连接,使更可靠的紧急呼叫更可靠,并有可能通过低地球轨道卫星建立宽带互联网。 Apple has filed a patent for a removable case with a movable antenna designed to improve satellite connectivity for iPhones and iPads, enabling more reliable emergency calls and potentially broadband internet via low-Earth orbit satellites. 该案可以与多个卫星网络连接,旨在克服持有装置时的信号阻塞,并可能增强像NFC这样的功能。 The case, which could connect to multiple satellite networks, aims to overcome signal blockage when holding devices and may enhance functions like NFC. 它将通过现有的连接器或无线协议进行接口,避免为标准用户增加大量数据。 It would interface via existing connectors or wireless protocols, avoiding added bulk for standard users. 虽然2024年申请的专利表明苹果公司推动扩大卫星能力, 超越目前仅限紧急情况的功能, While the patent, filed in 2024, shows Apple’s push to expand satellite capabilities beyond current emergency-only features, there's no confirmation the product will launch. 在苹果公司对Globalstar投资15亿美元之后,这项行动可能涉及与其他卫星供应商建立伙伴关系以支持宽带的使用。 The move follows Apple’s $1.5 billion investment in Globalstar and may involve partnerships with other satellite providers to support broadband use.
