According to Bloomberg, Apple intends to connect the Apple Watch to an LEO satellite in order to ask for help and send text messages with the user’s position in an emergency.
Apple’s ambitions to include satellite communications into its devices were initially revealed last year, when Bloomberg said that the iPhone 13 will be able to transmit brief messages to emergency contacts through satellite networks, bypassing the carrier, owing to technology dubbed ” LEO ». As a result, the iPhone 13 series now includes this capability. According to Bloomberg, satellite support for the iPhone 14 will be available this year, with Apple hoping to include the technology into the Apple Watch later this year.
