MENLO PARK – Apple plans to use satellite connectivity on the next-generation iPhone 14 and Apple Watch. With satellite connectivity, the device will be able to send SOS messages even if it is not connected to the operator’s network.
The presence of satellite connectivity on the iPhone 14 and the latest generation of Apple Watch allows users to ask for help even in the middle of nowhere. It is hoped that this ability can save people’s lives in critical situations.

The plan to bring satellite connectivity to the iPhone and Apple Watch was actually launched by Apple last year. Apple revealed that it wanted to bring it to the iPhone 13 but had to delay because the technology was not ready.
According to a Bloomberg report, Apple’s dream will come true in the iPhone 14 series, which will launch at the end of 2022. Given that some users will use the Apple Watch to make calls, Apple will also provide this feature on the Apple Watch.
The presence of satellite connectivity on the iPhone 14 itself is not really approved by loyal Apple users. Because they believe that the presence of this latest feature will make the price of the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch soar.
In addition, it is also feared that satellite connectivity will have a negative impact on the battery, such as a more wasteful battery. There are also those who worry that satellite connectivity could invite hackers to take action.
Apple has not provided further information regarding this plan. However, the distribution of this feature seems to be different for each region, this is due to the different regulations in each region, summarized from Gizchina, Thursday (14/4/2022).
