It does sorry. Check it out.

Satellite network for Apple satellite features provided by Globalstar, Inc. and its affiliates or third-party network providers.

Connect to a satellite with your iPhone – Apple Support (AU)

I do really like to know when travelling remotely that there is an alternate nework available even though the apple connectivity is very limited.

Strange - Mine never shows Sat without the Starlink banner…

Perhaps Apple uses it for those not using an SL provider.

That's what I was saying earlier. I'm not sure it will use the apple system while Telstra is sending you to starlink. Perhaps you'd have to take out the sim. I don't know. Before Telstra starlink colab my phone would willingly use the apple satellite emergency when out of signal.

Here is a demo. You can also get a demo. Go to Emergency SOS in settings and down the bottom of the page is "Emergency SOS via Satellite" You can click. "try demo"
