Following the premiere of the satellite link on the iPhone 14, Apple may be preparing improvements for this functionality on the iPhone 15.
one of the functions Apple debuts with iPhone 14, emergency SOS via satellite. This function allows iPhone to send SOS message even if we do not have satellite coverage. But that may be just the beginning, and the iPhone 15 could enhance this feature in the way we all want it to be.
Apple is working with Globalstar on satellite technology, and the company has hinted at expanding the iPhone’s satellite capabilities. As reported by Apple’s partner company, soon Offer satellite internet on iPhoneAccording to PC Mag.
Globalstar’s MSS (Mobile Satellite Service) system will continue to evolve over time to support the growing range of features and services available directly to mobile phones across its licensed range.
SOS Emergency function via satellite has already saved several people
Will the iPhone 15 have internet and satellite calls?
It looks like Apple will expand the iPhone’s satellite functions if these rumors turn out to be true. iPhone can connect to a satellite for more than asking for help. Maybe we can connect to the internet or make calls from anywhere in the world even if we don’t have mobile coverage.
As a result, hundreds of millions of people around the world will have Globalstar connectivity at their fingertips when communication is critical and no terrestrial networks are available.
Right now, iPhone’s satellite SOS emergency feature lets you send short text messages, share location data, and communicate with emergency services. However, it can only be activated to ask for help and cannot be used to connect to the internet or make calls. Despite this, it has already saved several lives.
This iPhone satellite SOS emergency function is free for two years and Apple’s plan is to start charging a subscription fee for it. However, it is not easy for someone to specifically pay a subscription to be able to connect in an emergency. However, the function would be more attractive if it also includes internet connection and satellite searches when there is no coverage.
We already know a lot about the iPhone 15, the design changes, the USB-C connection, we even know when the iPhone 15 will be introduced, but such functions can remain secret until the last moment.
