Tourists lost in Italian mountains saved by iPhone 14 Emergency SOS via satellite


Emergency SOS via satellite

Two tourists rescued off a mountain may be the first save scored in Italy by the iPhone 14‘s Emergency SOS via satellite feature.

In March, Apple expanded the feature to six countries, including Australia, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal — and fortunately for two tourists — Italy.

During an outing in the heart of the Apennine Mountains, the hikers had gotten turned around in an area without cellphone reception. Fortunately for the pair, the iPhone 14 gave them the option to call for help via a satellite text message. They were then rescued by the local fire department.
