Gene Munster: SpaceX will eventually build a Starlink smartphone

Analyst Gene Munster argued that SpaceX will eventually release its own handset for the Starlink network, despite Elon Musk's repeated denials. The comment followed SpaceX's deal to acquire up to 14 MHz of paired low-band spectrum in the 800 MHz band from Grain Management, strengthening Starlink Mobile's path to becoming a major U.S. carrier.

• SpaceX is acquiring up to 14 MHz of 800 MHz low-band spectrum from Grain Management
• Combined with 65 MHz from EchoStar, it addresses indoor coverage gaps
• Musk has repeatedly said he does not want to make a phone
• Munster sees the bigger threat for Samsung, not Apple
