iPhone SOS Feature: Apple has always emphasized the features related to security and health in its device and now his satellite -based SOS feature has proved to be effective in saving someone’s life in real life. A 53 -year -old climber in the US was trapped at an altitude of 10,000 feet, where the mobile network did not even have a sign. In such a situation, this emergency SOS feature of Apple became his last hope.
What happened to the accident?
The incident is of the US Snomess range, where this climber was coming down with a special gliding technique after completing the climb. Meanwhile, he suffered a serious injury, unable to walk. There was no help nearby and the phone network was also completely missing. In such a situation, he activated the Satellite SOS feature of his iPhone.
SOS of iPhone became a life saving
This feature of Apple has been specially designed for a situation where the general network does not work. With the help of this technique, the climber sent an emergency message to his family member via satellite. The family immediately informed the local Sheriff Office, after which the Volunteer Rescue team reached the spot and brought it down to the city.
Technology that really worked
Although such satellite service is usually quite expensive, Apple made it available absolutely free with the iPhone 14 series. The company started it in collaboration with GlobalStar Satellite Network in the US. Later, the matter of bringing this feature came to light in Apple Watch too.
Will the next satellite feature be limited?
According to media reports, Apple had a plan to bring this satellite technology to other products and countries as well, but these plans went on cold storage at the moment due to lack of deal in 2022 with Elon Musk’s company Starlink. Due to this, there is also uncertainty about the inclusion of this feature in the upcoming Watch Ultra 3.
