Apple’s official website released news on November 16, announcing that it would extend the satellite communication service of the iPhone 14 series for free for one year in order to provide users with a longer free experience. This decision is Apple’s recognition and feedback of the impact of satellite communication services on a global scale

Apple emphasizes that satellite communication services have had a profound impact on a global scale. Kaiann Drance, Apple's vice president of global marketing, said that satellite communication services have played a positive role in emergency rescue and other fields, helping people around the world receive timely help. She said that for users of iPhone 14 and iPhone 15, Apple will extend the time they can use this service for free

According to the editor’s understanding, on iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 On Pro, users can send emergency text messages, request roadside assistance and share their location information through satellite connections when they are unable to connect to cellular networks and wireless LAN signals. This provides users with a reliable means of staying connected during emergencies.

苹果增加4.5亿美元投资,将iPhone 14卫星通信服务的免费期延长一年

Huawei Mate 50 series and Mate The 60 series also supports satellite communications, but unlike Apple, Huawei uses high-orbit satellites, flying at an altitude of 36,000 kilometers, without the need for users to constantly turn to find signals like using Apple devices. In addition, Huawei's satellite communication system uses high-orbit satellites, while Apple chose 24 low-orbit satellites with a flight altitude of 1,414 kilometers. The supplier is Globalstar, with a total investment of US$450 million. This shows the different strategic choices of the two major technology giants in satellite communication technology.
