Just a couple of weeks after Apple’s new Emergency SOS service went live in the US and Canada, the first success story is here.
, the first success story is here. A man used his iPhone 14 to beam an SOS signal to a rescue team via satellite after becoming stranded in Alaska.
"On December 1, 2022, at around 2:00 am, the Alaska State Troopers were notified that an adult male traveling via snowmachine from Noorvik to Kotzebue had activated an Apple iPhone Emergency SOS via satellite on his iPhone after becoming stranded.
The aforementioned UI shows where the satellite is in the sky and guides the user to point the phone in that direction to connect. After the connection is established, the person is asked a couple of questions to determine the kind of emergency and to get all the important details. All the information is then routed by the same satellite to either an emergency response center or Apple's own SOS services.
The service is free for the first two years with every iPhone 14 activation, and is also expected to make its way outside North America, to France, Germany, Ireland, and the UK later this month.
