Apple Event and GPS ingenuity !

[Phantomrain.org]

If you watched the Apple Event , you might have saw that there is the new Satellite link SOS feature.
This feature needs the phone to be pointing directly at the satellite .

So they have a real time app that shows them where the Satellites are in the sky real time for user to point at.

I noticed a lot of use of Drone footage in the Apple Event, with more and more GPS features being introduced , how long before they enter the market.
I think they are fore shadowing a new product very soon.

Communication satellite, not gps.

The Sat feature is for emergency messages and with clear sky, can send an iMessage with specific information that you're prompted for, like are you injured, lost, etc.

However the Apple Watch Ultra did announce another level of GPS signaling to maintain positioning in locations where its more difficult, like cities or perhaps areas where you have a less than optimal clear sky view..

Whether this means Apple is going to enter the drone market is still pretty speculative.
