Apple launches an SOS satellite feature for iPhone 14

Apple launches an SOS satellite feature to let users send for help when they're out of signal, but with some limitations:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-17/apple-iphone-emergency-sos-service-australia-phone-000/102345720

Apple has launched a new emergency SOS feature for iPhone users who are out of mobile phone reception, which will use satellite technology to send for help.

However, it's only for the latest iPhone models and it might not work in certain bushy or mountainous areas. And it will only be free for two years.
