Satellite features were originally only free for two years
Another 12 free months were added last November
Questions remain about long-term access to these features
We’ve just hit the two-year anniversary of the debut of Emergency SOS via Satellite on the iPhone 14 – and although Apple originally said the service would only be free for two years, it remains free to access, with a year’s extension added last November.
The milestone was noted by MacRumors and others, and it’s worth highlighting because it raises the question of what Apple plans to do with this in the long term. The official support page for the feature still states that “Emergency SOS via Satellite is free for two years after the activation of an iPhone 14 or later”.
