That work was ongoing last time I looked, and I fully expect existing Apple satellite services will be extended to new nations, even under Amazon\u2019s watch.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Amazon enters the room<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Amazon\u2019s\u00a0recent $11.6 billion acquisition\u00a0of GlobalStar is interesting. You can see that Apple is now forced to work with its old frenemy, even as both partners already profit from strong, steady Apple hardware sales via the online retailer. So they know they can make money together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApple and Amazon have a long and proven track record of working together through Amazon\u2019s core infrastructure services, and we look forward to building on that collaboration with Amazon Leo,\u201d Greg Joswiak, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, said when the deal was announced.
