Apple Adds AAA Roadside Assistance to iPhone 15 Emergency Features

If you’re stuck on the side of the road for whatever reason, fret not, you can simply whip out your new iPhone 15. The newest edition of Apple’s flagship smartphone will feature a partnership with AAA for roadside assistance when you’re off the grid.

Apple announced the new feature for U.S. users alongside the newest edition of the iPhone at its Wonderlust keynote today. Apple’s roadside assistance via satellite will cover everything from locking your keys in your car to your vehicle being incapacitated, and will connect you with AAA via satellite text messages when you don’t have service. Everyone with the iPhone 15 will have access to Roadside Assistance and all Emergency SOS satellite services for free for two years. After that, AAA members will get the service for free while non-members will have fork over some cash—Apple did not immediately disclose how much that cost would be.
