Apple Might Keep SOS Satellite Feature For iPhone Users Free Forever: Here’s Why

News 18  

Apple introduced its SOS satellite service with the iPhone 14 models last year and promised that buyers can use it for free for the next few years. After going through multiple incidents where the SOS feature has helped people avoid mishaps, it can’t be denied that the feature works and it has done a lot of good to people. The report claims that Apple doesn’t want to make it official that the SOS feature will be free forever, instead, offer these 1 or 2-year extensions which not only allows people to use the feature without any fee and also get positive feedback from consumers, who will most likely join the Apple bandwagon. Having said that, the other possible way to keep the service running without any negative return is to have it part of the Apple One bundle which allows the company to rationalise the cost of the SOS satellite feature and give more people the chance to experience the benefits of this useful technology.
