🚨 BREAKING: @Apple & @SpaceX just dropped a BOMBSHELL collaboration that's about to change everything about how your iPhone works, and create GLOBAL internet access through your phone.

Strap in for this thread... 1/🧵

@Apple @SpaceX This isn't just another tech update. @tim_cook and @ElonMusk just joined forces in what might be the biggest tech partnership of 2025.

iOS 18.3 has been hiding a MASSIVE secret... 2/🧵

@Apple @SpaceX @tim_cook @elonmusk LEAKED: Bloomberg's @markgurman reveals Apple has been working IN SECRET with SpaceX and T-Mobile to integrate Starlink satellite access directly into iPhones 3/🧵

@Apple @SpaceX @tim_cook @elonmusk @markgurman 🔥 KEY DIFFERENCE: Forget dead spots, or pointing your phone at the sky like some sort of space cadet. Starlink works RIGHT FROM YOUR POCKET.

This isn't your grandma's satellite service. It means high quality access EVERYWHERE. 4/🧵

@Apple @SpaceX @tim_cook @elonmusk @markgurman JUST IN: T-Mobile beta testers are getting messages RIGHT NOW enabling the feature. "Stay connected with texting via satellite from virtually anywhere" 5/🧵

@Apple @SpaceX @tim_cook @elonmusk @markgurman WHAT NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT: All the big phone carriers better deal with Elon NOW, of this innovation will allow him to roll out his OWN phone service GLOBALLY. He could wipe them ALL out!

I mean, wouldn't YOU trust Starlink over AT&T?

6/🧵

@Apple @SpaceX @tim_cook @elonmusk @markgurman ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Only US iPhones (14 and up) have access for now. So Apple FTW!

T-Mobile has a one year exclusive. Your carrier may be next. If Elon doesn't go rogue.

But mark my words - this is just the beginning. 7/🧵

@Apple @SpaceX @tim_cook @elonmusk @markgurman The REAL story? Universal access to all the world's knowledge is ALMOST HERE. The ramifications for education and poverty reduction are off the charts!

Watch this space - literally 🚀

This changes EVERYTHING 8/🧵
