Apple's new devices landed along with big news for the outdoors: a sat-comms capability that Apple calls 'Emergency SOS.'
iPhone 14 launched this afternoon as anticipated — so did Apple Watch Series 8, SE, and Ultra. And they add things like satellite communication and video stabilization for anyone who likes to play outside.Apple iPhone 14 and the larger 14 Plus launched at a live event today, and landed along with big news for the outdoors: a satellite-communication capability that Apple calls “Emergency SOS.”
Once you’re connected, the device automatically sends your location, Medical ID , and battery level to a dispatcher who then opens communication.The tool doesn’t quite bury inReach, because you can only use it to send an SMS message to an emergency service provider — not to another device. However, satellite geolocating capability does let you share your location with friends and family, so they can track where you are at all times.
Apple also appears to be muscling its way into the action camera market with “Action” mode. This feature enables the iPhone’s more robust 48-megapixel camera to stabilize during high activity — similar to a GoPro.
