It is reported that Apple's iPhone 14/Pro series satellite communication functions will be expanded to more countries/regions
2022-09-16
On September 15, it was reported that all four iPhone 14 models include the new satellite communication emergency SOS function, which will be launched in the United States and Canada in November. A new report today said that Apple plans to expand this function to other countries/regions over time. It is reported that Apple informed the Swiss website MacPrime that the company plans to launch satellite emergency SOS services in more countries/regions later this year, including the expansion next year, but it is not clear when this feature will be actually launched in other countries/regions. The satellite emergency SOS is designed to enable the iPhone 14 series models to be directly connected to the satellite, allowing users to send emergency service SMS outside the cellular network and Wi Fi coverage. When the feature was launched in the United States and Canada, Apple said the service would be free for the first two years. The US version of the iPhone 14 series supports the long rumored emergency messages sent through communication satellites, which are called emergency SOS. When the user is not within the range of the mobile phone signal, the antenna of the mobile phone can be connected to the satellite communication. By customizing the short text compression algorithm, the message size can be reduced by three times. When the clear sky can be seen, the message sending time is less than 15 seconds. It supports satellite location sharing. In fields such as field scenes and emergency rescue, the satellite communication function can play a specific role. You can also use the "Find My" application to share a location without sending a message. (Liu Xinshe)
