Satellite SOS, which has been available on iPhones since last year, has had another rescue. For just having it on hand iPhone 14, thanks God Ryo Lu from San Francisca. He was driving with a friend in a Jeep in Banff when it suddenly started snowing very heavily. "We drove our rental Jeep towards Abraham Lake to take some photos. The car suddenly started to drift, then went completely out of control and overturned on the side of the road. Of course we got stuck there."

At that moment, Lu realized that his iPhone 14 has an Emergency SOS function. "Using Emergency SOS via satellite was pretty cool because you start by pointing your phone at the sky. It then starts collecting key information for emergency services. You turn your phoneoneIt will then show you where the satellite is, and if you're pointing it correctly, it will turn green. And then you can tap some buttons to answer questions and contact emergency services.” While Lu described the feature as “the fastest way to get help when you have no signal,” he had to wait another two hours. Emergency SOS via satellite from the company Apple was launched with iPhone 14 in 2022 and is also available in iPhone 15. However, let's hope that we will never need a similar service.
