Demystifying Apple’s entry into low-orbit satellite communications, led by SpaceX, OneWeb, and China’s Starlink will also be launched

Recently, well-known Apple analyst Guo Mingjun pointed out in the latest report that the iPhone 13 series mobile phone will be equipped with hardware that can connect to low-orbit satellites. After enabling relevant software functions, it will allow iPhone 13 users to make calls and send messages without 4G or 5G networks. Although the news was soon refuted by Bloomberg, saying that Apple is indeed developing satellite functions for iPhone, but it is unlikely to be launched in 2021, it can be confirmed that iPhone will add satellite communication functions is certain.

In this issue of intelligent internal reference, we recommend the report of Tianfeng Securities to reveal the current situation and trends of Apple’s entry into the low-orbit satellite communication market.

Over the weekend, Ming Kuo, who has always been accurate in breaking the latest news from Apple, released a big news. He revealed that the iPhone 13, the latest generation of iPhone that Apple will release this fall, will have the function of satellite communication! iPhone 13 will be equipped with a specially improved X60 baseband chip developed by Qualcomm. And the chip supports the n53 band owned by satellite communication company Globalstar. That is, even without 4G, 5G mobile signals and Wi-Fi, the new iPhone can send messages and make calls.

Bloomberg later published an article that partially confirmed Kuo’s claim, and posted the script that the latest generation of iPhone satellite communication is not a routine function, but is limited to emergency use. For example, in the wilderness, or in the absence of Wi-Fi and mobile signal scenarios, users can use limited satellite communication functions to call the police for help.

In satellite mode, there is a word limit on the number of messages a user can send, and iMessage is grayed out. Nonetheless, there are unique features to this type of urgent message. For example, even if the recipient of the message (the emergency contact you set) turns on Do Not Disturb mode, it can still receive a message sent via satellite communication and will display a notification.

However, the Bloomberg article also pointed out that the new iPhone may only contain components that support satellite communication, but it does not necessarily mean that the supporting functions will also be launched with iPhone 13. The official launch of these functions may not be earlier than next year. But in any case, Apple’s entry into low-orbit satellites has become a foregone conclusion.

Qualcomm has been working closely with Global Satellite Communications. As early as February this year, Qualcomm announced that,

Smart ThingsIt is believed that, looking back at history, satellite Internet is not a new concept. The pattern of competition and cooperation between satellite communication and terrestrial communication has existed for a long time and will continue. At present, there are many companies entering the satellite Internet, and the competition is fierce. The two largest companies, StarLink and OneWeb, have successfully risen to the stars many times, which also allows us to see the dawn of the completion of the global satellite Internet constellation. And the construction of satellite Internet in our country has also reached a stage within our capabilities and cannot be delayed. In the future, our country will also have 1-2 space X and OneWeb-level space companies.

2014 Beijing Auto Show: BYD Tang was officially released at the auto show.

speed up apply the brakes oil consumption second rice rise Still very fierce to test the new BYD Tang DM 80 first. Evaluation Editor-Liang Haiwen:

For its acceleration and braking performance, in fact, this level can already be predicted before the test, and the new Tang DM 80 impressed me deeply mainly because it should be said that it has done a good job in driving quality. The quiet and comfortable feeling when driving with pure electricity will make passengers have a good riding experience, and the excellent performance of kinetic energy recovery system is also an important assistant to reduce energy consumption/fuel consumption. On the whole, if you are interested in buying a hybrid model, Tang DM is a model worthy of special consideration.

Evaluation editor-Chen Hai maid:

The hybrid system of Tang DM can be said to be relatively mature, although it has a lot of bright data, such as speeding up the results in less than five seconds. But it is a family car after all, so I am actually more concerned about its pure battery life and daily driving experience. Fortunately, I am not disappointed. More importantly, the new Tang price is quite kind. Even if you don’t want a hybrid model, then the fuel version of less than 130,000 is believed to impress many friends.

Evaluation Editor-Huang Rongjia:

It is not news that Tang DM accelerates quickly. The old model itself is very fast, and the new generation has inherited the aura. What really surprises me is that the new generation of Tang DM is equipped with 22-inch rims and brembo six-piston brake calipers, and the vibration reduction effect is very good. If you consider that this is a medium-sized 7-seat SUV with less than 300,000, it is really exciting. For BYD, for China brand, it’s really disappointing this time, which makes people sit up and take notice.

Real estate weekly and first-tier cities are expected to lead the real estate market to stabilize and recover.

Focus on new signals of real estate market
editorial comment/note
Recently, many new signals have appeared in the real estate market. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the signal that the real estate market in first-tier cities stabilized and rebounded in September was obvious. It is worth noting that the central and local policies to stabilize the property market continue to increase, the market is clearing, and normal investment demand has rebounded. In first-tier cities, the policy of "recognizing housing but not loans" is superimposed on the traditional "golden nine and silver ten", and some positive changes have taken place in the real estate market in first-and second-tier cities.

In the past two months, various support policies for the real estate market have been implemented nationwide, and the policy effects are gradually emerging. The real estate market is showing signs of recovery-the real estate market in first-tier cities is the first to recover.
According to the housing price data of 70 cities published by the National Bureau of Statistics in September, the sales price of new houses in first-tier cities turned flat from 0.2% in August, with Beijing and Shanghai rising by 0.4% and 0.5% respectively, with Shanghai leading the country.
Since the end of August, the easing policies of the real estate market in many places have been continuously released. In particular, the four first-tier cities in the north, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have successively implemented the policy of "recognizing houses but not loans", which has obviously boosted the real estate market. Take Shanghai, which led the rise in September, as an example. Following the announcement of the implementation of commercial loans on September 1, on October 17, Shanghai announced the optimization of the criteria for determining the number of housing provident fund loans. If Shanghai has no housing, no provident fund loans in the country or the first provident fund loans have been settled, it will be recognized as the first set of housing … The policy has been continuously exerted, boosting the Shanghai real estate market.
From the perspective of the second-hand housing market, the price of second-hand housing rose by four cities in September, an increase of one city compared with August. First-tier cities turned up for the first time after falling for four consecutive months, with an increase of 0.2%. Among them, Beijing led the national second-hand housing market with an increase of 0.7%; Followed by Shanghai, the price of second-hand housing rose by 0.6%.
Some insiders believe that the price of second-hand houses in Beijing and Shanghai has increased month-on-month, mainly due to the strict implementation of the policy of "recognizing houses and recognizing loans" in Beijing and Shanghai. After the implementation of "recognizing houses but not recognizing loans", the demand potential released is relatively large, especially in Beijing and Shanghai. There are many old second-hand houses, and there is great potential for improved demand, and the activity of second-hand houses has increased.
It should be pointed out that although first-tier cities take the lead in recovery, this recovery is still unstable, and there are still divisions within first-tier cities. The prices of new houses in Guangzhou and Shenzhen continued to fall, with a month-on-month decrease of 0.6% and 0.5% respectively, and a year-on-year decrease of 1.7% and 3%. The price of second-hand houses in Guangzhou decreased by 0.7% month-on-month, while the price of second-hand houses in Shenzhen was flat.
In addition, although the sales price of commercial housing in second-and third-tier cities has increased and decreased year-on-year, the chain is still declining. From the ring comparison, in September, the sales price of new commercial housing in second-tier cities decreased by 0.3% from the previous month, and the decline rate was 0.1 percentage points higher than that of the previous month. Second-hand housing decreased by 0.5% month-on-month, the same as last month. The sales price of new commercial housing in third-tier cities decreased by 0.3% month-on-month, and the decline rate narrowed by 0.1 percentage point from last month; Second-hand housing decreased by 0.5% month-on-month, and the decline rate was 0.1 percentage point higher than that of last month.
At present, the risk release of the real estate supply side continues, and residents’ income and expectations need to be further improved, which has affected the stabilization of the real estate market in second-and third-tier cities to a certain extent, resulting in the decline in house prices in second-and third-tier cities. In addition, the recovery of first-tier cities brought by optimizing real estate policies needs to be further stabilized.
Due to the implementation of policies such as "recognizing houses but not loans", the demand for housing replacement in first-tier cities has been released, which has led to a significant increase in the number of second-hand houses listed in first-tier cities. Under the background of a large increase in supply, the prices of second-hand houses in first-tier cities are still in a downward channel in the short term.
Some insiders believe that whether it is just needed or improving demand, residents usually "buy up and not buy down". At present, consumers’ confidence in housing prices and the market is weak, and they are more cautious and slow to enter the market. In this regard, it is necessary to further optimize the real estate policy, "stabilize housing prices" and "stabilize expectations" and promote the repair of the real estate market.
In the short term, the real estate market is still facing adjustment pressure. However, in the medium and long term, the urbanization rate of permanent residents in China is 65.2%, and the urbanization rate of registered population is only 47.7%, so there is still much room for improvement in urbanization. In addition, although the total number of houses in China has reached about 40 billion square meters, the houses are mainly small and medium-sized units with great improvement potential.
The market expects that the policy is expected to continue to be optimized around stabilizing housing price expectations, activating the replacement chain, and lowering the threshold for reasonable housing demand. In particular, with the further liberalization of policies such as purchase restriction in first-tier cities, hot cities will enter a more solid market recovery stage, which is expected to lead the real estate market out of the bottom area and stabilize and recover.

How cold is it this winter? The authoritative statement is coming!

  "How cold is it this winter?"

  For this problem that everyone is very concerned about

  On the afternoon of November 4

  China Meteorological Bureau responded.

  On the afternoon of November 4th, China Meteorological Bureau held a press conference, and Jia Xiaolong, deputy director of the National Climate Center, introduced that according to the opinions of the consultation, the cold air in China is relatively frequent this winter, and the force is relatively strong, and there may be a large-scale low-temperature rain and snow weather process in the north.

  Midwinter season

  Low temperature rain and snow weather in the north or in a large range now

  Jia Xiaolong said that the cold air affecting China this winter is still relatively frequent, and the forces are generally strong. The cold air path is mainly northwest.

  Under this situation, the temperature in most parts of China is normal to low this winter, and the precipitation is generally more in the north and less in the south. The temperature changes obviously in stages. In the early winter, the temperature in most areas is normal to high, and the influence of cold air on China will become stronger in the midwinter season (around January next year). The temperature in most parts of central and eastern China may be lower than normal, and there may be a large-scale low-temperature rain and snow weather process in the north, and a large-scale and sustained low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disaster in the south is less likely.

  This winter, cold air activities are frequent and the temperature fluctuates greatly, so it is necessary to guard against the adverse effects on the epidemic prevention and control work in COVID-19.

  This winter will form a

  Weak to moderate intensity La Nina events

  At present, the SST in the equatorial Middle East Pacific has entered the La Ni? a state, and it is expected that a weak to moderate intensity La Ni? a event will form in winter, and its later evolution trend and climate impact are still uncertain.

  At the same time, in view of the complexity of the factors affecting China’s climate, and the recent increase in climate volatility, the National Climate Center will closely monitor weather and climate changes, strengthen analysis and research, and provide timely rolling revised climate forecasts.

  What is La Nina?

  La Nina event refers to the cold water phenomenon in which the sea surface temperature in the equatorial central and eastern Pacific Ocean is abnormally cold in a large range, and its intensity and duration reach certain conditions.

  When the sea temperature is unusually warm, the El Nino phenomenon will be formed. When the sea surface temperature changes, it will have a great impact on the atmospheric circulation and the climate will also change.
