9to5Mac Daily: April 15, 2026 – Amazon and Apple satellite deal, more

Amazon's acquisition of Globalstar and partnership with Apple to provide satellite connectivity through Amazon's Leo constellation represents a significant shift in infrastructure partnerships that could reshape enterprise mobility and disaster recovery capabilities for organizations relying on Apple ecosystems. Additionally, Apple's continued struggles with App Store security—including the bypass of fake cryptocurrency and financial apps—highlight critical vulnerabilities in application vetting processes that IT leaders must account for when managing device security policies and user access controls. These developments signal that technology leaders need to reassess their satellite connectivity strategies, supply chain dependencies, and mobile security frameworks to adapt to this changing competitive and threat landscape.
