For now. I’m sure it’s on the roadmap everywhere it’s allowed.

I wonder what will be the rollout order. I guess I would most like to have this in the countries that are usually the last to receive Apple feature support.

It's not a pure software feature and seems like it needs tons of "boots on the ground" support in terms of cooperation from local emergency services. So I'm guessing it will be first/only in developed countries with high state capacity.

I believe T-mobile and SpaceX is free for all Tmobile customers.

Yup, same year as tesla FSD ships and can actually avoid small kids and stationary objects, I hear.

Right after the Cybertruck :P

Of course they announce it today - I finally upgraded my iPhone X to a 13 Pro Max over the weekend :)

It was pretty well understood that they were announcing a new iPhone today with a little bit of research! It's a well followed pattern at this point.

What are the benefits over iPhone 13 for people outside the US who can’t use the satellite feature ? Think I’ll just get a 13 on sale

The "action" camera mode (basically gimbal replacement) looked pretty good if you were a film maker/Youtuber. And "multiple eSims" might be useful if you're a traveller/digital nomad as you were previously limited to two. But yeah, other than that it did seem a bit sparse on new features this year. Hopefully next years will be a big one to make up for it?
