According to the publication, Apple is making significant investments in satellite communications, whereas SpaceX has launched over 550 satellites that enable mobile communications via the Starlink network.

The publication's sources note that Apple's investment in space "provoked Musk's anger." SpaceX has requested that federal regulators halt Apple-backed initiatives to grow its satellite network.
