Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook said via X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, “A year ago today, we launched Emergency SOS via satellite. Today, we’re extending free access to this lifesaving technology for existing iPhone 14 users for another year.” “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, in a statement. “We are so happy iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 users can take advantage of this groundbreaking service for two more years for free.” Globalstar’s (GSAT) satellite network and ground stations ensures iPhone 14 users are able to connect to emergency services when off the grid.
