US-based technology giant Apple, which held an event in September, introduced the iPhone 14 family. The most striking feature of these smartphones was that they could provide emergency information via satellite connection. In this way, if something happens to the users, even if the phone is not working, the authorities will be informed.
Apple has now made remarkable statements about this important feature. In the statements made, it was announced how much money this system costs and when it will reach users. Let’s take a closer look at Apple’s statements about the satellite connection feature on the iPhone 14.
Apple spent 450 million dollars for emergency aid technology via satellite!
In the statement on Apple’s official website, it is stated that 450 million dollars have been spent for this technology. The company spent most of this money on a company called Globalstar, which has dozens of satellites in low-Earth orbit. Globalstar also made improvements in its satellites to work in harmony with the iPhone 14 and integrated all ground stations around the world into this system.

The feature, which was implemented at a serious cost of 450 million dollars, will be available by the end of this month.
