SpaceX is exploring the development of a Starlink-branded phone that would connect directly to its satellite constellation. Although details are still vague, Elon Musk has suggested that the device could be optimized for specific uses, such as running neural networks. Starlink is a significant revenue source for SpaceX, contributing to its overall financial success.

Apple has reportedly turned down an offer from Elon Musk to use his satellite technology, raising concerns about the viability of its own plans for satellite communications. The rejection may jeopardize Apple's ambitions in this area, as Musk's Starlink service could have provided significant infrastructure support.
