Apple expands Emergency SOS via satellite to iPhone 14 users in France, Germany, Ireland, and the U.K.
iPhone 14 users in France, Germany, Ireland, and the U.K. can finally take advantage of Apple's Emergency SOS via satellite feature starting today.
In September, Apple unveiled the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro. This year, the company started to heavily distinguish between the regular and Pro models. For example, the iPhone 14 Pro variants pack an upgraded 48MP wide camera, support the Always-On Display (AOD) feature, and introduce the Dynamic Island. Meanwhile, the regular iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus barely offer any exciting changes when compared to the iPhone 13. Though, one selling point that extends across the iPhone 14 series is the introduction of an all-new Emergency SOS via satellite feature. This handy tool allows users to reach emergency services and depend on Find My, even when no carrier coverage is available. Emergency SOS via satellite first launched in Canada and the U.S. last month, and it has now expanded to those in France, Germany, Ireland, and the U.K.
