(It’s also possible that Apple has increased the RAM allocation from 2021, as was rumored before the event. But this has been upgraded to carry an additional GPU core (like the one in the 13 Pro last year), and should thus deliver somewhat improved performance over the standard 13. The non-Pro models are still running A15 Bionic chips, just like all four of the 13-series iPhones last fall. The word “new” there is debatable, but there’s certainly change of sorts in the processor department.
At some point it seems likely to carry an ongoing fee, but Apple says it will be free for the first two years after purchase. The satellite feature is initially available in the US and Canada only. (It’s based on short pre-scripted texts, but if the emergency provider you’re trying to contact only responds to calls, a team of intermediaries will handle that for you.) You’ll need a clear view of the sky, but the feature will show you where to point the device so as to establish and maintain a good connection. If the iPhone thinks you’ve been involved in a crash, it will (unless countermanded) call emergency services and notify your preferred contacts.Įmergency SOS via satellite, meanwhile, is a feature that can use satellite connectivity to get in touch with emergency services when you’re out of cellular range. Safety featuresĪpple’s renewed interest in personal safety can be split into two main strands, both of which are also available on the new Apple Watches: a new crash detection feature, and satellite connectivity for emergencies.Ĭrash detection uses an upgraded gyroscope and accelerometer to recognise when you’re in a crashing vehicle–much like the older Fall Detection feature, but for potentially far more dangerous situations.
