Ho hum! Admittedly, I was unmoved by emergency SOS via satellite when Apple first debuted it alongside the iPhone 14. It's not that I didn't think it was an important, game-changing new safety perk. I just expected more: a volcanic, earth-shattering new feature that I could incorporate into my daily routine.
Emergency SOS via satellite, which lets you contact emergency personnel if you're in trouble with poor reception, didn't meet that criteria. After all, it's something you hope to never use. As such, forgive me if my immediate (and sarcastic) response to Apple's satellite connectivity update was, "A new feature that I'll only get to use if I'm in danger? Yay!"
