Published May 19th, 2023 8:44PM EDTThe iPhone 14’s SOS via satellite feature has saved another life. Well, in this case, a whole group of them., a group of teens got lost while hiking in Southern California. After being lost for about three hours in a canyon, one of the ten people in the group used the Emergency SOS features on their iPhone to call for help.
“Most had t-shirts and shorts,” Spears said. She added that temperatures were in the 60s and that “there were multiple water crossings and they needed to scramble” in certain sections of the hike, or climb steep terrain by hand. While Apple has had emergency SOS features on the iPhone for a while, the Emergency SOS via satellite feature is new for the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro, which Apple released in September of last year. The feature “combines custom components deeply integrated with software to allow antennas to connect directly to a satellite, enabling messaging with emergency services when outside of cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.
