Possible eventual U.S. military contract to provide cheaper satellite iPhones to their overseas soldiers than what they currently now have?

Maybe, though the blowback from their employees would be substantial, as would the press attention to it.

Whatever provider they are using for the satellites, their current phones are likely more expensive. If they add to their catalog it will sell gangbusters.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
This is very S cycle although with that said I've liked a lot of S phones.

I presume stalagmite connectivity being US/Canada only is internal trade-off. Either SIM card tray or satellite components.

These are incredibly light in color. The 13 Blue and greens are more pronounced.

Do you think you can buy a pro-conversion kit from Amazon/Ali Express so you can stick on a dummy camera to look rich?
