Long Expeditions: An inReach lasts for days on a single charge. In contrast, sending messages and running GPS navigation on your iPhone will drain its battery fast.
Dedicated Emergency Response: Triggering an SOS on the inReach routes directly to the Garmin Response Center (a 24/7 global coordination center), which is optimized for wilderness search and rescue.
Rugged Reliability: The inReach is designed to withstand extreme drops, weather, and water, whereas a damaged iPhone cannot be relied upon in an emergency.
Active Tracking: inReach devices can automatically broadcast your trail breadcrumbs via MapShare so family back home can track your progress in real-time.
So yeah, no serious backpacker is going to rely on an IPhone.
