Apple’s Emergency SOS via Satellite Launched For The iPhone 14 Two Years Ago Today, And It Still Remains Free Despite A Time Limit Mentioned

The iPhone’s space constraints will always present a challenge for Apple when introducing new features to excite the masses. However, that did not stop the technology giant from introducing Emergency SOS via satellite, which debuted in the iPhone 14 exactly two years ago today. Requiring an open sky to function properly, this addition launched in the U.S. and Canada first, with the company reminding users that the feature would be free for the first two years, after which a subscription would be required. Fortunately, millions of iPhone owners have yet to fork over any fee because Emergency SOS via satellite can still be accessed without paying a single dime.

Android competitors, including Qualcomm, have attempted to compete with Apple’s Emergency SOS via satellite but have achieved little progress in this regard

How Emergency SOS via satellite materialized is not a mystery because Apple partnered with Globalstar, an American satellite communications firm, to help bring the feature to iPhone 14 and newer models. Just recently, the Cupertino behemoth was reported to have renewed its partnership with Globalstar and committed to pay $1.1 billion to expand the available capacity to accommodate additional iPhones. Apparently, SpaceX is also said to be tied with Apple and will deploy satellites worth $1.5 billion to keep pace with growing iPhone use.

As for how helpful Emergency SOS via satellite is, we have reported several incidents where iPhone owners faced overwhelming odds, such as when a man’s car fell 400 feet in the Crescenta Valley. If it were not for Apple’s Emergency SOS via satellite or Crash Detection, the rescue group would never have triangulated the man’s exact location, and it is likely that he would have met an untimely demise. Similarly, the feature helped tourists call for help when they were lost in the

Sega takes a moment of their valuable time to remind everyone that Sonic the Hedgehog is canonically a homeless drifter
Turns out that Sonic the Hedgehog is canonically a homeless drifter and always has been. I did not know this. I doubt you knew this? I mean I figured he just went somewhere. Hedgehogs live in little burrows, right? Or perhaps hedges? Anyway, not Sonic, he's too fast to be tied down by concepts such as «home.»

Hogwarts Legacy 2 Will Only Work If It’s Way Less Forgiving
offered a great taste of 's wizarding world, finally allowing players to forge their own path at the famed school of witchcraft and wizardry. However, a glaring omission held the game back from true greatness: the lack of meaningful consequences. While students could do a lot in the game, their actions rarely resulted in more than a fleeting, inconsequential remark from an NPC. This lack of impact significantly diminished the roleplaying experience, reducing player agency to a superficial level.
