Reply to comment by Metaloneus in Android phones offered early US quake warning, beating iPhones to the punch | Google's earthquake detection network turns Android phones into seismometers, and it paid off yesterday. by chrisdh79

I’m mostly certain Apple introduced the satellite sos on their new phones exactly for the news stories. I don’t think it has any practicality use for 99.999% of users. For the remaining 0.001% users who are lost in the wilderness with no network, there will be 5% of users who will have battery available on their phone. Apple is banking on probably the one or two news stories for marketing purposes.
