You have tried and true steam plant stuff with roots in the 1940s, a reactor system that’s an update on a 1960s design, and a missile system that was cutting edge in the mid 1980’s and developed alongside the shuttle program. There are new systems and the newer subs are much more tech-y, but the old reliable stuff has an undeniable ruggedness - even though it seems to be clunky overpriced junk at times.

    People keep talking about the increased safety in hiking, but this feature could save lives in situations like extreme weather, widespread power outages, and major traffic accidents in remote parts of the country. When time is of the essence in the most dire of circumstances, two additional methods to contact emergency services change the odds.

    I used to work for an NGO’s IT department. We used to do election observation missions. It’s a huge endeavor as we would fly in teams of staff and VIPs like former government officials and the sort. Once in country, we would rent out like half a hotel in the capital city and deploy teams to different regions within the country. The teams would spend a couple days in the region prior to Election Day or days, and would visit polling stations on Election Day and observe taking notes such as did they see intimidation, soldiers, gangs, or fraud. Also, did voting appear to be transparent. The thing is, one team might be assigned a region that might cover half a state and the infrastructure such as roads, cell towers, and electricity was questionable the farther you get from the capital. So we would buy these SPOT GPS trackers meant for weekend adventurers that connect directly to satellite for $200 or $300 per device that would allow us to track teams. And if anything happened, there was an sos button on the tracker that basically sends an email to your emergency contact saying this person has hit the sos button. The fact that this can all be done from a cell phone in 2023 really blows my mind. This is pretty huge. I hope one day, this is expanded on a international level.
    This reminds me of a CNET reporter back in 2008 I think was with his wife and toddler. They were driving to family during a holiday and got stuck in a really bad snow storm. Everyone was looking for them for a couple days. Turns out there vehicle was stuck with no cell signal, so after a day and night being trapped, the CNET reporter guy left his wife and kid in the car and went to go find help. The wife and kid were eventually found safe, but the CNET guy unfortunately passed from hypothermia. Imagine if they were in that situation today, they could send an alert before things ever got life threatening serious.

People wouldn't know the failure rate of the emergency SOS, but once it's working as intended it will be plastered all over the global media to hype the superiority of Apple products. It works as free marketing for many Apple products such as the heart rate monitor at Apple watch, and the hearing aid on the air pod pro.

    As some in the satcom field, people don’t realize how impressive this is. Often the equipment that I work with is large and clunky, so for Apple to not change its antenna footprint on its phone and somehow have the power to ping a satellite that’s insane.
    With the increased interest in hiking over the past couple of years, this is a great feature and hopefully a step closer to nearly complete cell coverage via satellite. Be patient though, it’s not easy for one company in one country to get access to satellites around the world so people in other countries might have to wait.

Authorities had a search rescue for a long time but had to call it off due to extreme weather. Unfortunately, the young lady did not make it after sub freezing temperatures 😭 .

    The ability to communicate via text messages would be a very handy option to have, even if it costs a subscription because sometimes you don’t need emergency services, but you may need to contact your family or your family. May need to contact you when you are out in the middle of nowhere. I can do this on my Garmin unit already, and would be super handy if that same feature was available on our iPhones. Sometimes you need to communicate even when it’s not an emergency. Unless Apple never allows this feature, I will have no choice but to continue to use my Garmin unit.

When I told them I was trying to find a satellite with my phone they did not really give me a reaction probably because they don’t know how great the iPhone truly is and don’t care even thought such a feature can save their life or the lives of their loved ones thanks to the great device that Apple creates.

    What you do need to know about this is that the satellites don't go further north or south than 52 degrees. It is admitted that seevice may be degraded at locations beyond 62 degrees but that's on the flat. In mountainous terrain degradation or complete failure can occur once you get a bit beyond 52. I know of one failure with a device on this constellation at about 57 degrees North in mountainous terrain. So Northern Canada, Alaska, Iceland, Scottish Highlands, most of Scandinavia, forget it.
