Testing Apple's iPhone 14 Satellite Emergency SOS Feature!

Apple's iPhone 14 Satellite Emergency SOS Feature is Here!
Emergency SOS via Satellite new feature allows iPhone 14 & 14 Pro owners to reach out to emergency services from just about anywhere in the US and Canada, even when far away from cellular and Wi-Fi networks. Apple will also be launching the feature in Germany, France, Ireland, and the UK next month.

When an iPhone user makes an Emergency SOS via satellite request, the message is received by one of Globalstar’s 24 satellites in low-earth orbit traveling at speeds of approximately 16,000 miles per hour. The satellite then sends the message down to custom ground stations located at key points all over the world. Satellite communications are slower than traditional cellular calls and texts as the signal has to travel a much greater distance.

Once received by a ground station, the message is routed to emergency services that can dispatch help, or a relay center with Apple-trained emergency specialists if local emergency services cannot receive text messages.

Apple is including a Demo Mode that allows users to get familiar with the feature before actually needing it in an emergency situation, and you can also use the satellite connection to update your location in the Find My app when you don't have WiFi or cell service.

This guy holding his phone up in the air like he’s trying to get a cell signal. Apple themselves and other reviewers (DC Rainmaker) have repeatedly said that this is not necessary…just hold it normally. 🙄

I'm in Canada, and my 14 pro doesn't even have that demo mode prompt, this doesn't make sense.
