      Why would you not be super excited for this?

      This literally extends coverage to the entire world. Movies will have to come up with a another excuse then - oh I have no signal.

      When you’re hiking that trail in the middle of nowhere and you slip and break your leg you can just point your phone to the sky and get help.

      Perhaps you were being sarcastic, but I’m very excited about this feature. I often visit rural areas, and if I got a flat I would love my phone to be useful for letting family know what’s going on.

        Same although that’s why I got a Garmin InReach already but those are a lot of $ plus there is a subscription cost and all.
