Apple: invests $450m in emergency response service

(CercleFinance.com) - Apple has announced the introduction of a satellite-based emergency SOS service on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models, made possible by a 450 million dollar investment from Apple's Advanced Manufacturing Fund in a network of satellite and ground stations to power the service.


Available to customers in the US and Canada this month, the new service will enable iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models to connect directly to a satellite, enabling access to emergency services outside of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage.

The majority of the funding is going to Globalstar, a global satellite service headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, with facilities across the US.
