Amazon is reportedly in talks to acquire Globalstar, the company that powers Apple's iPhone and Apple Watch satellite features. Apple's 20% stake in the company is a key factor in negotiations. The acquisition could help Amazon compete with SpaceX's Starburst satellite internet service. The company's valuation has significantly increased since Apple's purchase of Globalstar in November 2024, potentially valuing Apple's gains at around $1.1 billion.
