As promised, Apple is expanding the iPhone 14 Emergency SOS via satellite feature to more countries. Last month, this exclusive function available to the latest iPhone devices was released in the United States and Canada. Now, users in France, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom can connect with emergency services when cellular and Wi-Fi coverage are unavailable.
According to the Cupertino company, every model in the iPhone 14 lineup — iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max — can connect directly to a satellite through a combination of custom-designed components and deeply integrated software.
Emergency SOS via satellite builds on existing features to iPhone users, including Emergency SOS, Medical ID, emergency contacts, and Find My location sharing, offering the ability to connect to a satellite to share critical information with emergency services, family, and friends.
