Can the iPhone 14 Pro satellite emergency rescue function be used in China

Recently, it was revealed that iOS 16.1.1 will be released soon. This version is likely to launch a very important function, that is, the satellite emergency rescue function, which allows users to quickly ask for help in places where there is no signal, greatly increasing the safety of users. Many domestic iPhone 14 Pro users want to know whether the satellite emergency rescue function can be used in China?

Is the iPhone 14 Pro satellite emergency rescue function available in China? Can the iPhone 14 Pro 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.

According to the satellite emergency rescue regulations officially released by Apple, the iPhone 14 Pro purchased in China has no satellite emergency rescue function. In addition, this function was not supported in all regions at the beginning. It can only be used in the United States and Canada. Generally speaking, it is rather weak.
