The new phones have a built-in satellite connection that people can use to send emergency SOS messages in places where there\u2019s no available cellular signal.<\/p>\n<p>First, your iPhone will help you orient your phone in the direction you need to point it to get the best signal. Once you have a connection, you can open up a message interface that lets you communicate with emergency service providers. Apple says that because of satellite connectivity limits, it\u2019ll take much longer to send messages than you\u2019re used to, so the feature includes some automatic questions it prompts you to answer, like \u201cis anyone hurt?\u201d It\u2019ll have auto-populated answers that you can tap to respond. Apple is also compressing messages to a third of their normal size to make sending them a little quicker.<\/p>\n<p>Apple say that once the message is sent to the satellite, it then gets routed to emergency response centers; if those centers are only set up for voice calls, they\u2019ll first be passed to a response center that\u2019ll then get in touch with emergency response.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Probably the biggest new feature for the iPhone 14, 14 Plus and 14 Pro isn\u2019t one you\u2019ll use ever day, but you\u2019ll be glad you have it if you need it.
