    Emergency SOS services

    "That means that the service will now lapse at the same time for both
    iPhone generations in November 2025.

    'From a man who was rescued after his car plummeted over a 400-foot cliff
    in Los Angeles, to lost hikers found in the Apennine Mountains in Italy, we continue to hear stories of our customers being able to connect with emergency responders when they otherwise wouldn¢t have been able to,' Apple¢s Kaiann Drance said in a press release."

    Heh heh heh... It's like "New Coke" given Apple is all marketing & no R&D.

    Triggered

    It seems you can't comprehend even the simplest of facts, Jolly Roger,
    (which is that Apple just admitted today they failed at this gimmick).

    In fact, this information was released to the press only moments ago.
    *Apple is giving iPhone 14 owners an extra year of free Emergency SOS services*
    <https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/15/23962214/apple-emergency-sos-satellite-free-extra-year-iphone-14>

    *So it's not "me" who is "triggered" but all the press reports that are*.

    ADULT QUESTION:
    Since both Apple & Qualcomm failed at getting anyone to _pay_ for it,
    why do you think we should care that a mere gimmick is failing both?

    Do you even know why that simple question makes you quiver in fear?
    I do.
