A Reddit user recently shared a story that made an iPhone 14 possible. play a YouTube video at an altitude of 6,000 meters via mobile data on an airplane flight. No evidence has been presented to confirm that the story is true, but it’s a pretty interesting curiosity.

This user apparently claims that his father used an iPhone 14 during an airplane flight and was able to play a YouTube video at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. The same Tried again with another video and streaming it worked until disconnected.

Can iPhone 14’s mobile data play video streams on an airplane flight?

A Reddit post titled “iPhone 14 allowed my dad to stream video from a plane flight” was published a week ago.

This is the story of user “chaostunda5” translated into Spanish:

Hello everyone, I was traveling with my dad recently and when he was above 6,000 meters above sea level I noticed that he was broadcasting briefly on YouTube. I saw him clicking on the video on YouTube so I don’t think it was preloaded and I also saw the satellite icon in the top right corner (can’t remember if SOS was on). I got the iPhone and clicked another new video and it worked! Anyway, the internet just went out and couldn’t watch any more streams, but that got me a little excited. Can we expect to receive mobile data via satellites in the future? Has this happened to anyone else?

Even though the iPhone 14 has the fastest 5G, it’s a totally surreal story, but from the way it’s expressed, this user seems to be saying something completely true. It looks like it will be possible to connect to the internet via satellites in the future, but perhaps commercial aircraft are more likely to offer Wi-Fi connectivity services. What is your opinion on that?
