(MENAFN) Apple has unveiled its new SOS through satellite feature for iPhone 14 models.
The feature was launched during the inaugural of the iPhone 14, two months ago, and allows users to message the emergency services while outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage.
It will at first be available to customers in the US and Canada and will be widened to France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK next month.
“Some of the most popular places to travel are off the beaten path and simply lack cellular coverage. With Emergency SOS via satellite, the iPhone 14 line-up provides an indispensable tool that can get users the help they need while they are off the grid,” on the words of Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.
“Our teams worked tirelessly to tackle a new set of technical challenges to bring this service to life, in addition to building a reliable on-the-ground infrastructure. Emergency SOS via satellite is a breakthrough service available only on the iPhone 14 line-up, and a new innovation that we hope will provide our customers some peace of mind.”
