Apple's original Emergency SOS via satellite feature allows users to contact emergency services even without cellular reception. Launched on November 15th, 2022, it initially rolled out in the US and Canada, expanding to several European countries by March 2023.

Users can report emergencies like vehicle issues, sickness, crime, being lost, or fires. The iPhone guides users to establish a satellite connection and sends emergency details, location, battery level, and medical info to responders. It also allows two-way messaging with emergency services and notifies emergency contacts. Apple uses a text compression algorithm for quicker message delivery and provides guidance on satellite availability if the connection is lost.

Embracing the evolution from PCs to smartphones, he harbors a special appreciation for the Google Pixel line due to their superior camera capabilities. Known for his engaging storytelling style, sprinkled with rich literary and film references, Sebastian critically explores the impact of technology on society, while also perpetually seeking out the next great tech deal, making him a distinct and relatable voice in the tech world.
