Cell phones don’t work in the wilderness. You need a sat PLB and subscription, which is pricey.

The couple that found him immediately called for help so they weren’t that far out. The guy was responsible. Why are you defending his stupidity?

That was announced two weeks ago... before this dude was even lost. And the newest iPhone isn't cheap.

Your comment was “cell phones don’t work in the wilderness”. They do. Didn’t mention a timeline in my comment and neither did you. Just pointing out that your statement isn’t correct any more.
Most people already have cell phones. They will almost certainly all eventually support the emergency SOS feature because once apple does something everyone copies it.
