BERLIN: Exactly one year ago, Apple launched its satellite-based emergency SOS service, allowing anyone with the latest iPhone to call for help even if they found themselves in a remote area with no signal.

The two-year free trial phase of the service for the iPhone 14 promised at the time is now being extended by a further year for existing customers, the company has announced.
