The Apple Satellite SOS is actually rather good - and a nice thing to have embedded. Although it is limited compared to a dedicated device.
I still have a Garmin InReach Mini 2 which also uses Iridium and isn’t geo-locked (used it trekking in Nepal and whilst in the Maldives on a liveaboard boat so my family can see where I am).
It would be good to have that full functionality built into a phone device, so you only need one device rather than multiple. I assume Apple will partner with Garmin or someone similar to go there if the Android manufacturers aren’t interested.
