Reporters learned that Apple is working on its own satellite technology, which will allow the company to directly receive data from iPhone and other devices.. So the company wants to get rid of the need to rely on third-party networks, writes Bloomberg, citing sources.

It is reported that Apple has already recruited a team of engineers to develop antennas and devices. Although journalists believe that this may not be about creating their own satellites, but simply about developing transmitters or ground equipment. Among other things, the technology will have to improve the accuracy of geolocation for maps.
