Bloomberg: Apple Working on Emergency Satellite Features for iPhones, 2021 Launch Unlikely
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...for-emergencieshttps://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/30/apple-emergency-satellite-features-iphones/"There are at least two emergency features that will rely on satellite networks...
The first feature, Emergency Message via Satellite, is designed to let users text emergency services and contacts using a satellite network when there is no signal available, and it will be integrated into the Messages app as a third communications protocol alongside SMS and iMessage. It will feature gray message bubbles rather than green or blue, and message length will be restricted.
The second feature will let users report major emergencies like plane crashes and fires using satellite networks. It will be similar to a "911" call in the U.S. and can provide information like a user's location and medical ID, in addition to alerting emergency contacts."
