IPhone 15 or In reach ....

[Dangerous Farmer]

I don’t think you can contact anyone but emergency services with the sat comms on the iphone so that would be a con for me.

Zoleo here….works like a champ…hat tip to my buddy Chris for recommending it.

its how I got the message in the backcountry a couple weeks ago my daughter was in the hospital…otherwise I wouldnt have known.

Hope all is well.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I don't want my camera, alarm clock, GPS/maps, and emergency device all rolled into one. Phone also tend to be in places they can be dropped or lost or broken easily, whereas you can stuff an InReach down inside of your pack.

One failure and you're in some real trouble real quick. I think there will always be a good argument for having an independent emergency device.

I'm ehh Android for so I'm not that committed to the conversation.

You do make a good point about putting all your eggs in one basket as it were. I'm usually a tad worried about having a dead battery or worse crushed phone. So having searate systems to track your location and at least SOS is a real advantage.
