Comment on Family rescued in Maui thanks to iPhone's satellite feature

  It’s not spying… actually it’s to send your location one time upon your request. And you need to manually aim your phone.

  Id not be surprised if one time location send would take 3-5% of the battery as it’ll take 15-60 seconds to transmit you location.

  The satellite is 1400km away so not your average 3km cellular tower.

  I mean, the connection to the satellite is already barely powerful to send a few bytes of text.

      Bruh, you could more easily spy with the cellular connection.

        But with spots without? For those that could be the use case…Nit even to track you down to the meter but know the facinity you are in
