iPhone Satellite Freebies Extended Again!
9 Sep
Summary
- Free satellite features for iPhones extended for one more year.
- This extension applies to devices activated before September 9, 2026.
- It covers Emergency SOS, Messages, Find My, and Roadside Assistance.
Existing iPhone 14, iPhone 15, and iPhone 16 users will continue to receive free access to Apple's satellite features for an additional year. This extension is valid for devices activated in supported countries before September 9, 2026. This marks the third such extension for iPhone 14 users, with earlier expirations for iPhone 15 models also pushed back.
The suite of services includes Emergency SOS via satellite, Messages via satellite, Find My via satellite, and Roadside Assistance via satellite, with availability varying by region. These features, powered by Apple's partner Globalstar, enable users to contact emergency services or share their location even without cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity.
Apple has not disclosed any plans or pricing for these satellite features once the free access period eventually concludes. For the present, users who activated their eligible iPhones before the specified cutoff date can continue utilizing these essential services without any charge for at least another year.
