I didn’t know, but apparently iPhone 14 and later offer Emergency SOS via satellite:

Emergency SOS via satellite can help you connect with emergency services under exceptional circumstances when no other means of reaching emergency services are available. If you call or text emergency services and can’t connect because you’re outside the range of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage, your iPhone tries to connect you via satellite to the help that you need.

Apparently this has saved some people’s lives during the recent Maui wildfires.

Hell yeah, technology!
