Apple is bringing its new SOS exigency point via satellite connectivity to the iPhone 14 series this week. The service is available in the US and Canada from Tuesday onwards. Apple will be extending this point to iPhone 14 druggies in France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK coming month.
With Emergency SOS via satellite, the iPhone 14 lineup provides an necessary tool that can get druggies the help they need while they’re off the grid, ” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s elderly vice chairman of Worldwide Marketing.
Apple says that every model from the iPhone 14 lineup- iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 14 Pro Max are compatible to run this software- designed point. “ Emergency SOS via satellite builds on being features vital to iPhone druggies, including Emergency SOS, Medical ID, exigency connections, and Find My position sharing, offering the capability to connect to a satellite, ” Apple states in its blog post.
Any iPhone 14 stoner stuck in an area without a network or Wi- Fi signal will see an interface pop up on their phone’s screen. It’ll ask the person to describe the exigency, ranging from stranded, or lost to others. It could be related to steep terrain, delveor water. Apple says you can point the iPhone towards the sky where it’ll look to connect to a satellite available in the region.
Now, Apple will ask the stoner to point the iPhone 14 at a satellite to shoot and admit the communication. You can also tell them about who needs the help and also relay dispatches about any possible injuries. Apple has developed custom factors and software that insure the iPhone can pick up satellite signals without carrying a big antenna.
Apple says in clear conditions, the communication can be transferred and entered in around 15 seconds. This point can be vital for people stuck in a natural disaster, and it links with the Find My app to get the position of the worried person. “ The satellite connection on the iPhone 14 lineup also works with other safety features available on iPhone and Apple Watch, including crash discovery and fall discovery, ” the post adds.
Both these features need an iPhone to run the iOS16.1 interpretation, but presently, you can only use the technology with the rearmost iPhone 14 series. Apple says the SOS point is included for free for two times which starts at the time of the activation of your iPhone 14 model.
