iPhone does not have a directional antenna. It will take enormous amount of power on satellite to communicate to it.



This is one thing that worries me about the feature. If you're stuck in the middle of nowhere with no coverage, presumably no power outlets..., is attempting to transmit a message going to work if you're sitting at 5% battery left?
