As someone who worked in the satcom sector for a little while, I called this years back. I think the next moves will be for Apple to create their own satcom plan, maybe going toe to toe with traditional cellular plans. This would cut out the need for roaming or swapping sims if traveling (probably why Apple removed the SIM card tray). I think from here, Samsung and Google will move in to create their own satcom network where they will also charge customers, then the Chinese will probably create some insane network with massive up/down speeds. I think this will shake up the phone industry, imagine satcom speed tests, battery drain tests will be unique too. I also think traditional satcom phones that people use to use where Inmarsat and Iridium might be pushed to maybe government use only. Interesting times.

That Ai menu app is super dangerous because one small mistake on the translation of the ingredients and the user can die if someone has a food allergy. That puts a huge legal liability on the app and there are naturally variations on the recipes
