In a lineup of safety features, Emergency SOS via satellite shares the stage with other Apple innovations. Take Crash Detection, for example, which can automatically dial emergency services if your phone suspects you’ve been in a collision. Meanwhile, users in the U.S. and Canada get the added perk of Roadside Assistance via satellite, letting you summon AAA help through satellite connectivity.
Not to be outdone, the Apple Watch has been getting its fair share of safety upgrades over the years. Fall detection capability, coupled with the ability to measure various health metrics like irregular heart rhythms and unusually high heart rates, makes it a reliable companion for health-conscious users.
