Apple has a surprise for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 users. The company announced that it is extending free satellite features for another year.

This is the third extension since the release of Emergency SOS via satellite in 2022.

Free Satellite Access for Another Year

Apple announced in a recent iPhone 17 press release that iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 users who activate their devices in supported countries before 12 a.m. PT on September 9, 2025, will get an extra year of free satellite features.

This means users can continue using Emergency SOS and satellite messaging at no extra cost. However, some countries like Armenia, China, and Russia don't support these features.

According to The Verge , the free service will run until November 2026.
