I know of someone who died on a generally safe day hike. People had to hike out and then drive to get cell service for a rescue.

If it was a few months later, an iPhone likely would had saved it. It was never reported in the news.

Genuinely curious, how would the iPhone have saved them ?
Presumably referring to iPhone 14+ satelite emergency texting https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213426
I assume so, just wondering what would've happened if they had the phone, how far were they from the rescue service, what was the circumstances etc.
