As iPhone users can now send SMS via satellite, will Apple charge for such features?
Apple has added satellite capabilities to the in 2022 to enable a new feature called Emergency SOS via Satellite, which lets users contact emergency services in areas with no cellular service. At the time, the company said that customers could try the service for free for two years – but the trial period was later extended to 2025.
Now with iOS 18, iPhone users can even send SMS via satellite. But will Apple keep this service free forever?
