TheiPhone 14range has already had its fair share of headlines. Since the range launched, they’ve been hailed among thebest phoneson the market, but they’ve also faced a slew of production issues making it hard to pick up aniPhone 14 before Christmas.
If you have been lucky enough to get your hands on one, though, there’s a fantastic new feature which is coming your way. It’s coming to the whole range, too, so it doesn’t matter whether you have the vanilla handset, theiPhone 14 Plus,the iPhone 14 Proor theiPhone 14 Pro Max.
The phone will then display a radar screen, directing you towards the nearest satellite. Once you are pointing at it, the screen turns green and the message will send in as little as 15 seconds, thanks to some intelligent compression.
The information is collated along with your location and medical ID, to ensure the best emergency service for the job is sent to your aid. Users in the USA and Canada got the feature last month, and quickly found use for it when a man in Alaska was left stranded, but successfully used the feature to call for help.
Now,MacRumours, has reported that the feature could roll out to users in the UK and Europe as early as the 13th of December. We’d previously heard that the feature was coming to users in theUK and Europe in December, but this is the first specific date we’ve seen.
It’s a brilliant new feature. I’ve previously been very vocal about my love for this technology, and that’s not about to change. It’s easy to get excited about processors, camera arrays and screen technology – those are really nice things to have. But when you’re stranded and need help, none of those can save your life. This can, and that makes it a winner in my book.
