Starlink Direct-to-Cell Global Launch

Starlink Direct-to-Cell will achieve a full global commercial launch in 2026, bringing satellite internet to any smartphone without extra hardware. This service, which achieved 2-4 Mbps in beta with T-Mobile in 2025, is set to reach 10 Mbps with V3 satellites—a 150% improvement in speed over the initial rollout. Unlike #9, the Apple M5 MacBook Pro, which requires a new device, this service eliminates dead zones for 4 billion people currently outside cellular coverage, making it more accessible than any other product on this list.
