Can iPhone 14 satellite emergency rescue function be used in China

The iPhone 14 series has been released for more than two months. According to Apple's official statement, it is very likely that the satellite emergency rescue function of the iPhone 14 series will be developed in the next version of iOS 16, allowing you to call for help wherever you are. Can the satellite emergency rescue function on iPhone 14 be used in China? Next, let's have a detailed understanding.

Is the iPhone 14 satellite emergency rescue function available in China? Can the iPhone 14 satellite emergency rescue function be used in China

No. Currently, only the United States and Canada are open. Moreover, the models purchased in Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao do not support the satellite emergency rescue function, even if you take your mobile phone abroad

The satellite emergency call function will be officially put into service in November 2022. The first available regions are the United States and Canada. The iPhone 14 can use this service for two years for free.

When there is no communication network signal coverage, the satellite emergency call function will establish a connection between the directional RF antenna and the satellite in the Earth's low Earth orbit to send rescue information. The satellite will locate the user's location and contact the rescue team and emergency contact person, so as to timely rescue the user. In case of distress in the outdoor suburbs without communication network coverage, the user's rescue probability will be greatly improved.

To sum up, the iPhone 14 purchased in China cannot use the satellite emergency rescue function. If you want to experience satellite communication, you can buy Huawei's mobile phones. At present, Huawei has several mobile phones that can support the Beidou satellite communication function.
