Apple on Tuesday said it’s launching a roadside assistance service via satellite. It made the announcement during its “Wonderlust” event, where it launched the iPhone 15 and Apple Watch Series 9.
The new service is built on the same technology as the Emergency SOS via Satellite service Apple launched last year with the iPhone 14, according to Deniz Teoman, vice president of hardware systems engineering. It’s intended for times when you have car trouble and no cellular or Wi-Fi service. Roadside service is covered by a AAA membership; it’s also available separately for nonmembers.
