I wonder which satellite fleet they are partnering with for the SOS feature? There’s, I think, three right now under construction. I wonder how much it will cost after the two year free deal ends? Will it be by month, or by call? As they say the devil is in the details. 

GlobalStar, the ones who do the SPOT hiking messengers. There tend to be a variety of plans, I’ve a monthly Garmin InReach  plan but there’s others. Often there’s a standard plan and extras are simply billed on that. Such as tracking to a sharable website. 

Satellite connectivity for the win. Getting stranded in the boonies is no fun.

Current Apple designs are really demonstrating the value that Jonny Ives brought.

Oh, we need more room for ...., we'll just add an ugly bump to the side that when folk bend their wrist backwards jabs them.

I’ve a Rolex dive watch with a similar protrusion protecting the crown: it never digs in. Unless your wrist is broken you just don’t bend that way. Lol

I’ve a nice leather wallet case yet I find I’ve left my iPhone 13 pro max in an Apple silicone marigold case for months now. So I’m probably going to skip another Vaja and get another bright Apple silicone. If I later go with a full case it’ll be a folio to reduce the bulk some.
