Would the iPhone 14's built-in Satellite SOS (and satellite location sharing with friends) feature replace your need for an InReach device? It depends on how you use the InReach, I guess.

I don't know.. I don't use iPhones anymore (for software compatibility and price reasons - on a Spanish salary they are simply too expensive) but if Samsung would get a similar feature then perhaps...
It depends how well it works though. And how much fussing around is actually required with that targeting stuff. Of course in an emergency I may not always be able to fuss with it a lot. It depends on real-world usability. I'm sure the various hiking sites will put it to the test when it comes out.
