Apple has released the iOS 18.5, and one of the most notable features is that it allows the iPhone 13 lineup to access the satellite messaging features provided by carriers.
With the change, T -Mobile users who can use the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro, or iPhone 13 Pro Pro Max will be able to use their star link -powered satellite messaging service. The service is currently free to try in the United States before the trial period ended in July.
