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