Why Emergency SOS via Satellite is a Big Deal
Apple's Worldwide Marketing Senior Vice President Greg Joswiak said that most of the popular places lack cellular coverage.
This is true since tourist spots are usually located in areas where there's no signal, such as forests, beaches, mountains, etc.
He added that the new Emergency SOS via satellite feature would allow iPhone 14 users to enjoy their travels without worrying about losing signal while they are off the grid.
