SpaceX on Nov. 10 opened invitation-only preorders for select U.S. customers for Starlink Mini 2, priced at $999 including a year of Roam Unlimited service that the company values at $2,100, The Verge and Interesting Engineering reported. SpaceX says the built-in battery lasts up to 4.5 hours and can be swapped, and the dish can also run from a 60-watt USB-C power source. The Mini 2 is 23.1 mm thick, thinner than the original Mini, weighs about 3.5 pounds and keeps an IP67 dust- and water-resistance rating. SpaceX said broader availability is coming later.
