Apple has officially pulled the wrapping off its new iPhone 14 with a six-inch display, along with iPhone 14 Plus that features a larger 6.7-inch screen, and both feature Emergency SOS satellite that launches is November.
This means users in remote areas, such as mountains, the middle of the woods and deserts, can connect to satellite internet in order to send a message for help – and the service is free for the first two years.
iPhone 14 family connects directly to a satellite by showing you where to point your smartphone, allowing you to then send a ‘custom short text’ created by an algorithm that shares the emergency message in just 15 seconds.
Along with supporting satellite internet, the new smartphones can detect when you are in a car crash to notify officials.
iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus come in five eye-catching colors: midnight, starlight, blue, purple and product red.
iPhone 14 starts at $799 and the Plus $899, which is much lower than rumors had predicted – speculations said costs could rise by 15 percent due to inflations.

Apple shares rose 0.9 percent nearly immediately after it revealed its new iPhone 14.
The tech giant said the smartphone has an ‘amazing new camera system’ with an upgraded 2 megapixel main camera that features a sensor larger than the smartphone’s predecessor.
It also has a 49 percent improvement in low-light capture and a new TrueDepth for the front-facing camera that automatically focuses on objects and people within the frame.
The new iPhone 14 family includes a new software feature called ‘photonic engine’ that captures better details and color in low-light.
The video system also received an upgrade with ‘action’ mode, which keeps the video footage stable even when you’re jogging – putting an end to shaky clips.
Apple also announced a completely new Watch, called Apple Watch Ultra, which is a rugged smartwatch for ‘extreme athletes’ with a titanium case that wraps around the display and side buttons that work even when the user is wearing gloves.
Apple Watch Ultra can endure temperatures that fall below 0F or those that spike above 100F and has a new, advanced map to help explorers stay on their path.
The company said it also gets up to 36 hours of battery life on a single charge, just like the new Apple Watch Series 8, but this device will get a new ‘battery optimization setting’ this fall that increases power to 60 hours.
Apple Watch Ultra will be $799 and automatically includes cellular connectivity. Pre-orders start today and the device will be available September 23.

The Watch Ultra also has its own bands – three new bands with features for divers and runners.
It also has an advanced GPS system for hikers, helping them recall where they have been and show them where they need to go – putting an end to getting lost in the woods.
Right before the world was introduced to a new Watch, CEO Tim Cook unveiled the Series 8 with an always-on display and provides up to 36 hours on a single charge – twice as much as the Series 7.
Series 8 is designed with several new features, such as a way to track ovulation and technology that detects when you are in a car crash in ‘the most popular types of vehicles.’

The company says it is the most durable Watch yet – it is swim proof and crack proof.
Apple Watch Series 8 is also so bright, you can read text and notifications on the screen even when your wrist is down.
Users can purchase the Apple Watch Series 8 for $399 or $499 with cellular connectivity. Pre-orders open today, with the device available on September 16.
The reveal took place Wednesday during the tech giant’s annual product event hosted at its headquarters in Cupertino California.
Jeff Williams announces Apple Watch Series 8 during the live event, which he said: ‘It has all the things you love about Apple Watch, plus even more.
‘It has new watch faces, and it’s bright even when your wrist is down.’
The cycle tracking feature is a major addition to the Apple Watch, which allows users to monitor their period cycles for better family planning.

This is possible through a new temperature sensor to provides estimation for when the wearer is ovulating.
Apple says its cycle tracking will also alert you on your iPhone and can help bring your attention to any other health issues that might come up.
The company stresses that all health data collected by the Watch is protected by end-to-end encryption.
‘Your cycle tracking data is encrypted on your device and only accessible with your passcode Touch ID or Face ID,’ according to Apple.
Along with tracking health, the Apple Watch Series 8 can help save your life more than ever before.
The device features a new sensor with a high-G-force accelerometer that detects when you have been in a car crash, such as ‘side impact, rear end collision and rollovers.’
The feature, dubbed ‘car detection,’ only activates when you are traveling in a vehicle.
