BERLIN: Your phone can be a lifesaver if you get into trouble on a mountain hike – but only if you have signal. For emergencies in places where there is poor reception, Apple is now rolling out a new satellite SMS service for iPhone 14 owners.
Going live on Tuesday in the US and Canada, the feature lets you point your iPhone 14 towards a satellite to send an emergency message even if there's no signal in your area. Germany, France, the UK and Ireland will get the feature by the end of December, Apple says.
