On iOS 26 with a T-Satellite plan? These six iPhone apps work via satellite

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-09-30 21:56:24

When T-Mobile launched its T-Satellite service back in July, iPhone users were limited to text messaging via satellite – but the company promised that support for selected additional apps would follow. With the launch of iOS 26, the company has started to make good on that promise, with support for six apps so far.

With Lumo, Proton thinks it can carve a place at the AI table

Proton released Lumo — its privacy-focused chatbot built on open-source models — in mid-July, and, following an update in August that addressed some early issues, I find myself using it more often than ChatGPT or Claude. In a world where internet companies have done so much damage to our society, I'm trying to find more ethical tools.

4 Things You Should Never Cook in a Nonstick Pan, According to an Expert

Nonstick cookware has its place in the kitchen, but its limitations should keep it from being your everyday pan.

Samsung HW-Q990F Soundbar System Review: Glorious Atmos

It’s hard to convince anyone to spend over a thousand dollars on a soundbar system. Ask a home theater nerd or Redditor, and they’ll say spending real cash on anything other than a receiver and dedicated speakers and subwoofer is a fool's errand.
