- The satellite features include Emergency SOS, Messages, Find My, and Roadside Assistance via satellite, enabling users to communicate or access help without cellular or Wi-Fi signals, with availability depending on the country.
- Apple has not disclosed any plans to charge for these satellite services once the free access period ends, allowing eligible users to continue using them at no cost for at least another year.
