Satellite demo not showing up on iPhone 16 pro?

I recently bought a iPhone 16 pro from the Apple Store and discovered that the is no options for the SOS via satellite, my old iPhone 14 Pro has the option but my 16 pro doesn’t? I’m updated to iOS 18.6.2 and I live in the US.

Yes, I purchased my phone online through the Apple Store in the US. My App Stores region is set to United States as well as my phones region, I just don’t know why it's not working how it should.

I wish there was more I could offer, but I don't see any reason why the Demo wouldn't be available on your phone.


If it was my iPhone, I'd take it to my local Apple Store Genius Bar and let Apple test the phone in person.
