He’s not alone
One Apple community member, getting wind of the news on Friday, sought a solution for opting out of Starlink connectivity.
They wrote, “I saw that Apple would be partnering with Starlink for satellite messaging coverage and I’d like to ensure that there is a way to opt out of this as a personal choice”.
“I also want to opt of having Starlink on my iPhone,” another agreed. “I do not want to connect with it, I don’t want to have anything to do with Elon Musk, and I don’t want his satellites to connect with my phone. This is a hill I’m willing to change phone manufacturers on, please make an adjustment, I’m not okay with this.”

“The world freaked out when Apple downloaded a U2 album onto everyone’s iPhones,” another pointed out. “Why is this not being publicized more?”
But one reasoned there might be a time to use the service.
“If I come across an accident and have no cellular connection would I choose to save a life over not connecting to Starlink? You bet I would. It’s a choice and I’d rather have Starlink as a choice than not.”
Viewers think they are safe
Commenters expressed their opinions in response to the video.

“Okay, so I actually read the whole article not just the title,” one said. “You only have to worry about it if you’ve got T-Mobile and even then there is a toggle to turn it off.”
“Apple bout to put a nail in they own coffin because I only needed an excuse to go back to Galaxy,” another opined.
“Still rocking an iPhone 6s,” boasted one. “Won’t let me update beyond iOS 15.”
“Never been glad enough to have an older iPhone and there’s never enough storage to download the new update,” echoed another.
