Assuming you're a sensible adult, Jolly Roger, allow me to ask you two
simple questions which require intelligence to answer logically.

Q: Is this "awesome SOS" safety feature expected to be free after
the stated trail period, or will it cost the consumer money?

Q: For the vast majority (apparently almost everyone) who don't wish
to pay for this "awesome SOS" feature, how is it going to benefit them?

HINT: Apple lied.
If Apple actually cared about consumer safety, the iPhone would have FM.

Note: Both Qualcomm and Apple have clearly indicated few will be willing
to pay the price that is expected - as their actions show that clearly.
