New iPhone 15 Pro Models Gain Support for India's NavIC Satellite Navigation System

Apple has added support for India's NavIC satellite navigation system to the new iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max models.

NavIC is India's alternative to GPS that provides positioning and timing information across India.

Support for NavIC is not included in the standard iPhone 15 and 15 Plus models.

Last year, India pushed phone makers to add NavIC support within a few quarters.

Many manufacturers were concerned about increased costs from hardware changes needed to support NavIC.
