At present the iPhone 14 pro satellite connectivity works with texting. You dial 911 and if there is no cellular it prompts you to use emergency services where you answer a few questions. It sends your information and location and they send the information to responders. So it’s limited but sounds very useful if you’re in a jam and not in the bottom of a deep, narrow canyon with limited satellite views. Perhaps this will expand into something more. Tech is moving fast.
We try to use common sense and due care to keep us out of trouble but when it comes down to it one really doesn’t know what is going to happen in the next five minutes so it sure doesn’t hurt to have a little something extra up your sleeve.
