Android and iPhone have never been closer, with little between the operating systems and their handsets. In the main, Google might seem to do more following than leading, but it has just beaten Apple at its own game, with a stunning new feature that is surprisingly coming to Android first and could be just around the corner…Google is on a mission to make Android more like iPhone, as the world’s two leading smartphone ecosystems battle for users.
We did hope Android might go further, with previous beta code suggesting a satellite messaging option in partnership with T-Mobile. The potential for what this might eventually mean hit the headlines when Elon Musk announced that SpaceX had achieved downloads speeds of 17mbps to an unmodified Galaxy S21 Ultra.reported following that Samsung test, the device “wouldn't require any special hardware to connect to a satellite.
This teases a future where direct to phone satellite connectivity becomes more normal and usable, but in the meantime messaging integration is a great start. That this is coming to Android 15 now seems confirmed—absent a major change. And as Android and iPhone come ever closer, this looks like being an example of Google leading with Apple to follow. Coming just after the “blockbuster” news that Gemini might be coming to iPhone and Apple claiming the DOJ lawsuit would essentially turn iPhone into Android, this has been an interesting week.
