Yes, it is free. But the only thing you can use it for is contacting emergency services.
It’s free for 2 years.
Then you get the full Tim Apple treatment.
TLDR. There’s no pricing after 2 years yet.
Probably get 2 years with every phone purchase. I’d have no problem subscribing to it regardless.
I have a family and little kids. I’d never even consider not paying for a service like that if it could save our lives.
I would think it would be nominal.
Stories like this are marketing gold and all it would take is one “Apple charges $$$ per year and we decided not to pay it so all of my kids died” story to ruin all of those warm fuzzies.
