    I did read the article but maybe I am confused so feel free to clarify for me.

    The article states:

    ‘Apple extends Emergency SOS via satellite for an additional free year for existing iPhone 14 users’

    So the implication is it isn’t free after that time. What about other iPhone users? Is this free for everyone irregardless who has any model iPhone or just the 14?

      The implication is that Apple’s language is very specifically implying this is a fee-for-service product, but that they are waiving that cost for a defined time period. They may extend that again, or several more times, but they are going out of their way to NOT say it’s just free, or simply an included feature e.g. FindMy.

      If their intent was to have it be an included service, they would NOT include the language about how long it will remain free.
