Emergency calls are outbound, not inbound. I hope that iPhones don't share location like they can do when placing an emergency call

    Yeah; that’s the problem. I hope Apple releases a technical document outlining how the system works, because otherwise it’s a “trust me, bro” situation.

    Still better than the current reality, but it’s not going to be driving me to buy a new iPhone.

    I do wonder if there are any technical reasons the system can’t support older phones.
