> Now, with the release of Emergency SOS via satellite on iPhone 14 Pro, I don’t plan to carry the inReach nearly as often, and I’ll pause the subscription to save the monthly fee, with the added benefit of weight savings in my pack. Keep in mind, the Garmin has its advantages with super long battery life and an extremely durable build made to withstand the rigors of multi-day expeditions, so I think it’s worth keeping around.
But probably the most exciting aspect of satellite connectivity being built into iPhone 14 Pro is that loved ones like my wife, Esther, will have it with them all the time. It’ll be ready for them to use whether they’ve planned for it or not.
The author has also replied to my comment saying he wasn't aware that the satellite service was North America and Canada only and that he will make sure to take his Garmin on international trips. My critique was not aimed at the author, but at the marketing materials which need to hammer this point home, even for North American residents such as this author. Based on this evidence, I think it was a pretty justified comment.
