I wonder if this will become a paid feature or part of iCloud+ later on. Or do they expect it to be mostly on device models driven?

Hans Rosling was talking about this over a decade ago.

They added support for that (atleast with dual eSIMs) in iPhone 13s.

Starship and other Mars projects will be large upfront capital expenses with a lot going in R&D.

I believe Musk would prefer faster returns to speed that up than wait a few years more patiently.

Mistakes are meant to be repeated. /s

Still, an open question is why would they feel the need to buy an exisiting company? Couldnt they simply recreate a hardware company from scratch with their resources? HTC is not exactly a world leader or some unique innovator here.

Because Google marketing takes product naming classes from Microsoft. :)

How about busses instead of train or subways?

That sounds fine on paper but does tends to cause overuse of the resource. People don’t value what they get cheaply or free. I belive NHS from UK is facing a similar problem.

Simply heating does not kill all bacteria magically. That would require boiling for some time and I doubt that happens in-flight.
