Apple invests $430 million for iPhone 14’s satellite connectivity feature

In September, Apple unveiled the new iPhone 14 and 14 Pro series with two potential live-saving features– Crash Detection and SOS Emergency Help via satellite. While the former is already live on the new iPhones, the latter is expected to be activated in the coming weeks.

Ahead of the launch, Apple has shared detailed information on how much it is investing in the new safety feature and how it plans to offer an effective customer care service.

Apple is pumping a whopping $450 million (approx. Rs 3,636.63 crore) dollars through the company’s Advanced Manufacturing Fund. Most of it is being passed on to service partner Globalstar, headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, US in addition to building infrastructure for ground stations to attend emergency calls.
