SpaceX’s cellular Starlink is now also available in Japan and Canada on the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Series 11, and SE 3 models. Users can engage in text messaging and data transfer.
SpaceX’s cellular Starlink system was initially designed to provide connectivity only to smartphones. However, it now also supports Apple Watch models in Japan and Canada. This makes it possible for users to send and receive data via Starlink satellites directly through their smartwatches.
Starlink Time for Apple Watch
In Japan, the operator providing this support, KDDI, announced that the service offered through its Au brand is now compatible with the Apple Watch Ultra 3, Series 11, and SE 3 models. The operator’s updated support page states that users must purchase the cellular version of the Apple Watch and subscribe to Au’s Starlink Direct service to use this feature. It is also emphasized that only sending and receiving messages is supported through the Apple Watch.
In Canada, SpaceX’s partner, Rogers Communications, similarly added Starlink support for the Apple Watch. Rogers is offering the service as a free beta for all Canadian users.
This feature, which has arrived for users in Canada and Japan, is expected to be offered soon in the US by T-Mobile, SpaceX’s partner. T-Mobile already supports Apple Watch cellular plans and is compatible with over 70 phone models through its T-Satellite service. This feature will enable Apple Watch owners to message and transfer data via satellite connection, even in areas without cellular coverage. Furthermore, it is reported that Apple is working on more satellite connectivity features specifically for the iPhone. These features include significant developments such as photo transmission.
