You know that 112 and other emergency numbers can be called even if the line is not connected to your phone. The chip, which enables our devices to communicate with the satellite, can do these numbers without a physical or virtual SIM. This situation, which can be life-saving when faced with an emergency, will be more fully available for Apple Watch.
Apple Watch, which can be used in an emergency
When you encounter an emergency, you may not be able to immediately pick up the phone and make a call. Or even if your phone is a few steps away, it may not be possible for you to reach it at the moment. However, we carry our watches on our wrist most of the time. Therefore, accessing them is much easier than with phones. Apple will understand this and will add a satellite link chip to the next Apple Watch series, enabling emergency calls to be made. With the arrival of
satellite connection, it will not only be possible to call numbers such as 112, but also to be notified by message to your emergency contacts of your choice. The SOS feature, which is similarly available on most smartphones, declares an emergency when you press the button a few times and sends a message and location to the people you previously selected.
The best part of this innovation, which emerged with Bloomberg’s report, is that it will not require a phone connection. So you don’t have to have your phone nearby for an emergency call, the watch will work like a stand-alone phone.
There is also a detail about the feature that can be annoying. Again, according to the report of the same source, this feature may not be used in all countries. It is certain that it can save lives in countries where it can be used.
