Apple Emergency SOS
Apple announced today that it will extend free access to by one year Emergency SOS via satellite for iPhone 14 users.
The service, launched a year ago, allows users to send emergency messages even when they are in areas without network coverage.
How Apple’s emergency SOS via satellite works
The satellite emergency SOS service has proven to be very useful in various critical situations, helping to save many lives. Success stories include that of a man who was rescued after his car fell from a 120-metre cliff in Los Angeles, and that of two French hikers who were lost in the Apennines.
The free trial of the satellite emergency SOS service will be extended until November 2024 for iPhone 14 users who have activated their device in a country that supports the service. We also remind you that emergency SOS is available for free also for iPhone 15 users.
For more information on the service and its availability, we refer you to the dedicated page on the official Apple website.
