Apple Satellite SOS vs. Google Satellite SOS: How Do They Compare? 🛰️

[@josh3326]

When you're driving a hybrid, or EV car without an OEM spare through remote Utah desert and blow a tire. The SOS feature on the iPhone is a miracle.

@@allanc5743 we should not subscribe to ambulance bro. We should use at least a credit system for it at least. It's like walking over a person who fell because he don't subscribe to help. This should be a mandatory, we have vehicle trolley and we don't subscribe to it.

Verizon next year is allowing texting via satellite. It’s absolutely mind blowing that a smartphone can connect to a satellite in space.

Excellent video!!

[@eraldway]

Apple with iOS 18 will allow you to send messages as well to anyone running iOS 18. Had a chance to try it out and it was awesome.

[@EternalDestiny48]

Thank you for talking about this! This has become so important that I am very disappointed in Samsung that they have not caught up to Apple and now the Google pixel. This is a life-saving feature that should not be omitted on any phone

[@romansepiol]

Not available in the uk on Google Pixel 😢.

[@RuiCastroPT]

Just have to say, another type of emergency, we had a earth quake in Portugal a week ago. There was only talk that some Android phone alerted people. iPhone did not alert anyone.

[@vitorcordeirom]

Yeah eu estou muito preocupado com isso!!

[@Flop666]

maybe it was because of carrier and not a phone ? it's carrier whos sending emergency alerts not a phone

[@vitorcordeirom]

@@Flop666 it was OS based.

[@RuiCastroPT]

@@Flop666 Maybe but I've heard you need internet on for it to work. Could be Google sending it out, if it was the carrier it would send it to iPhones too, right? The feature is in the phone, it even has a simulation button with tips. It's in the Safety and Emergency section, called Earthquake Alerts. A friends wife woke up with this and thought it was the 100% battery alert LOL woke my friend saying her phone was going crazy and then slept again

You can dail 911 in europe and your carrier will automatically transfer it to the correct emergency center. Same as i can call 112 in the US and will be redirected to 911.

Elon Musk says SpaceX's Starlink Direct To Cell system for mobile phones won't cost users a dime when it comes to connecting to emergency services. “Can't have a situation where someone dies because they forgot or were unable to pay for it,” the SpaceX CEO said in a tweet on Tuesday.

Ya android fan for years. I use both but the sos satalite feature sold me. I no longer buy samsungs or pixel. Apple for the win. Satalite messages should be standard. The fact places still dont have cell coverage is ridiculous in 2024.

[@xenofastiq]

Satellite SOS feature sold you ... But you don't buy Samsung or Pixel anymore... Even though Pixels have Satellite SOS? Now that really doesn't make sense lmao

[@ps3301]

Starlink is free for emergency!!

[@quantuminfinity4260]

But that requires you lugging around the whole antenna, it’s not available in consumer devices.

[@HokgiartoSaliem]

Remember some SOS really SOS. I mean the person may be unconscious. So calibrating the phone to match the satellite sometime cannot do it.

[@plove552]

Now, I hope most people realize this is not a competitive feature, as it is a mandate that the governments are requiring. So this feature we'll be coming to all phones soon.

[@flamingmohmohawesome4953]

Wrong. Google partnered Skylo. Skylo uses satellites from Viasat, Ligado Networks and TerreStar. These satellites are in a geosynchronous orbit, SpaceX's skylink is not.

[@mihalyadrianbengo9615]

I just don't get it. We pay a lot for these phones. Also this is a critical emergency solution. So why isn't it a proper included solution for emergencies. The tech is there and then oh sorry you were lost and injured and need help but you haven't paid so die... At least in worst case there should be an after pay in case you so when you need to used it you can.

[@macbugde]

Did you watch the video? It’s free.

[@BruceLeeRoy26]

@@mihalyadrianbengo9615 because satcom access is very expensive. Neither Google nor Apple are companies with their own satellites so they’re piggy backing off of a third party satellite most likely. Each person who buys these satcom enabled phones are added to the “access list” automatically so should something happen they aren’t going through a tedious process of being added on. Also you gotta think about going across international lines, Apple and Google has to work with various countries to get their ok to use their satellites for those citizens. It’s not a cheap process, tbh 2 years is pretty generous, they’re eating up a lot of costs in hopes that this pays off.

[@oeao2841]

The video said it will be free for only 2 years at ​2:50 @macbugde

[@Visualization1]

there, that part where you need to have the google message app as you default, that really shows why it s*cks if you get to much choice. then It don't just work. A regular user don't know how to change it back once it's default has changed. So EU Please stop with forcing these kind of thing on the apple platform. there should be a choice to have a closed system.

[@perfectgogeta]

What a horrible take. Then a regular user shouldn’t be using any type of these smart phones and stick to a dumb phone instead.

[@Visualization1]

@@perfectgogeta you can of course disagree, but that is not how the world works at the moment.

[@perfectgogeta]

@@Visualization1 So you're own comment is saying the exact opposite of what you originally said. Thus why we shouldn't have closed ecosystems and have users choose what they want and have many apps available.

@@perfectgogeta not sure where i say the opposite. I just believe in closed eco systems. And in this video they show why in my opinion an open system is more complicated for most regular users.

@@Visualization1 and it's stupid to believe in closed systems... period. And again, if users can't use a simple change in an app, then they shouldn't be using smart phones to begin with. They should be using dumb phones instead.
