This will now be a feature incorporated into iPhone 14 and future iPhone models. It’s a good emergency feature to have fir anyone who travels out of cell tower signal range,

An iPhone 14 lists for around $799 but getting emergency help
via satellite might make it worthwhile if you are in the habit
of going on safari in the Australian outback for instance.

One’s Medical ID is their Vaxx Status and Contact Tracking?

Good for potential rescuers to make a judgement call.

I used to go on very long, desert road motorcycle rides. This would have been nice to have in my back poscket.

This is good, so the people with no climbing experience who get stuck on a mountain in a snow storm because they didn’t check the weather can call for a $25,000 emergency crew paid for by taxpayers.

Thank You for Posting this. I’d forgotten about it and ran across this Thread while I was closing some of the 200+ Tabs that I had open.

Anyway I wanted to add that I have an iPhone XR and the service is available on it also.

TECHNOLOGY (((PING)))
