Everything we know about the iPhone 15!
Although it has been more than a year before its release, there are many claims about the iPhone 15 model.
The company stated that due to the low bandwidth of satellite communications, Apple uses a special compression technology so that messages can be sent quickly. In an emergency, users can activate the satellite link feature by quickly tapping the power button five times, holding the power and volume button, or pressing 000.
Regarding the feature, which can create an emergency call via satellite link, Apple’s website states, “Our new models have special components that are deeply integrated with software to allow antennas to be connected directly to a satellite. Users will be able to message emergency services when out of cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. This may take several minutes, as satellites are low-bandwidth mobile targets. As every second counts with Emergency SOS over satellite, iPhone poses several vital questions to assess the user’s condition. After the questions answered, the device shows where they should point their phone to connect to the satellite. During this process, the emergency call is forwarded to centers with Apple-trained experts.” contains the description. It is estimated that satellite connection technology will come to our country in 2024 at the earliest.
