Have you heard the news? Regular smartphones are getting satellite connectivity!
Apple recently announced long-rumored satellite support for the new iPhone 14, enabling users to send emergency messages outside cellular coverage areas.
The service, called Emergency SOS, was made possible through a partnership with Globalstar, the American low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite company. (Apple hinted at other future partnerships as well.) Emergency SOS is set to launch in the US and Canada in November and in other countries later.
