Apple gives iPhone 14 and 15 owners an extra free year of satellite connectivity

Apple is extending the free trial of its satellite connectivity features on iPhone 14 and 15 models for an additional year. The company's off-grid features, including Emergency SOS via satellite, Messages via satellite, Find My access, and roadside assistance, were initially launched with the iPhone 14 in 2022. This is Apple's third extension of the free trial, which will now be available to eligible users until 12AM PT on September 9, 2025. The article suggests that Apple may be reluctant to charge for the Emergency SOS feature due to concerns over negative publicity. Users can currently test the satellite connectivity features on their iPhones by navigating to the relevant settings.
