Elon Musk said on Thursday SpaceX had promising talks with Apple about using Starlink's satellite services for the iPhone 14's emergency messaging feature, a day after the tech giant picked Globalstar for the task.

Globalstar would build the satellites needed for the new feature that will allow iPhone 14 users in the United States and Canada to send emergency messages from remote places, the satellite communications company said on Wednesday after Apple launched its latest line of phones.

"We've had some promising conversations with Apple about Starlink connectivity," Musk, who is also chief executive of Tesla, said in a tweet.

"For sure, closing link from space to phone will work best if phone software and hardware adapt to space-based signals vs Starlink purely emulating cell tower," he added.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The satellite message feature will be available through a software upgrade on iPhone 14 models, which include extra hardware to send the messages, starting November.
