With the announcement of the iPhone 14, Apple changed the game in the smartphone market with a new technology: satellite emergency calls. The latter, available in France since December 2022, allows you to call for help in any situation, even if the network is capricious. For now, the service is free. The Cupertino company actually stated that it would remain this way for 2 years before it became paid.
Good news: It just announced that users will get an additional year of free trial for a total of 3 years. But be careful, you will have to comply with an important condition. In fact, it is mandatory to enable the functionality. 15 November 2023. In other words, if you buy an iPhone 14 after that date, say for Christmas, you’ll only be entitled to two years of free satellite emergency calls.
Apple extends free trial for satellite emergency calls on iPhone 14 by one year
“Satellite emergency calls have helped save lives around the world. Whether it’s a man rescued after his car fell off a 400-foot cliff in Los Angeles or hikers lost in the Apennines in Italy, we continue to hear stories from customers who were able to connect with emergency responders when they otherwise couldn’t. “We were able to achieve this.”Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of global iPhone marketing, recalled citing many stories of users surviving dramatic situations thanks to the feature.
In fact, Apple has not yet made a statement about the price to be applied for emergency calls. Depending on the company’s final decision, it is possible that we will have to wait a few more months. I would like to remind you that iPhone 15s also have the right to benefit from this feature free of charge for two years.
