This should stay free. Apple should swallow the cost.

It’s one of those things fairly unique on iPhone and it would just be bad optics to say “oh, sorry. your phone will have this life-saving software disable if you don’t pay up”

Only for a little bit more time. SpaceX has already launched hundreds of next-gen Starlink satellites that will give basic cell coverage everywhere on earth. It seems safe to assume they'll turn it on pretty soon.

I would rather use smoke signals than use Elon’s sattelites.

Calm down his satellites aren’t going to beam down ultra frequency 8G that will microwave your brain
