Az iPhone 14 felhasználók plusz egy évnyi műholdas vészhelyzeti segélyhívás-szolgáltatást kapnak

Ingyenesen bevezették és most ráhosszabbítottak egy évvel a 2-re az iPhone 14-nél. Tippre azért, mert még a számlázási rendszere nincs kész. Ha elkészül, feltehetően fizetős lesz 2 év után, legalábbis erre utal:

Now on the anniversary of that launch, Apple has announced that existing iPhone 14 users will get an extra year free. It's specifically called a free trial, and the extension is for iPhone 14 users who "have activated their device in a country that supports Emergency SOS via Satellite prior to 12 a.m. PT on November 15, 2023."  [...] At no point has Apple given any indication of what it will charge for the service after the free period ends.

hogy egy ilyen telefon hogy tud speckó antenna nélkül műholdakkal beszélgetni?

How satellite connection works on iPhone

Satellites move rapidly, have low bandwidth, and are located hundreds of miles away from Earth. So, when you use a satellite connection, the experience is different than sending or receiving a message via cellular:

• In ideal conditions with a direct view of the sky and the horizon, a message might take 15 seconds to send. It might take over a minute to send under trees with light or medium foliage. 
• If you're under heavy foliage or surrounded by other obstructions, you might not be able to connect to a satellite.
• Connection times can also be impacted by your surroundings, the length of your message, and the status and availability of the satellite network.

To use satellite connectivity, your iPhone must have compatible software. Before you go somewhere with no cellular and Wi-Fi coverage, you should update to the latest version of iOS. 

Satellite features are included for free for two years with the activation of an iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, or iPhone 15 Pro.

How to connect to a satellite with your iPhone

• Be outside with a clear view of the sky and the horizon.
• Be aware that trees with light foliage might slow down the connection. Dense foliage, hills or mountains, canyons, and tall structures might block the connection.
• Hold your iPhone naturally in your hand. You don't need to raise your arm or hold your phone up, but don't put it in a pocket or backpack.
• If you need to turn left or right or move to avoid a blocked signal, your iPhone provides onscreen instructions.
• The satellite connection can be maintained even if your phone screen is locked.
• Satellite connectivity might not work in places above 62° latitude, such as northern parts of Alaska.

Ahogy nézem, jókora szerencsés együttállás is kell ahhoz, hogy ez működjön.
