Apple iPhone 14 users get 1 year of free Emergency SOS via satellite - Details

Apple has extended the Emergency SOS via satellite feature for an additional year to all existing iPhone 14 users. The feature was launched a year ago on all iPhone 14 models in the United States and Canada. The Cupertino-based company has expanded this feature to the iPhone 15 lineup in 16 countries and regions.

The Emergency SOS service launched by Apple has been hailed by many for its ability to save lives worldwide. 

“Emergency SOS via satellite has helped save lives around the world. From a man who was rescued after his car plummeted over a 400-foot cliff in Los Angeles, to lost hikers found in the Apennine Mountains in Italy, we continue to hear stories of our customers being able to connect with emergency responders when they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to,” said Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing.
