Yes GPS can do better than 50M but we are talking about a single fix from a cell phone in a moving car not a survey receiver. . The displayed location is better because the phone applies a filter to the location data. Some thing like a Kalman filter. I doubt the iPhone can get within 10M from a moving car.
As for Iridium being an expensive for pay service. But that is because most users SEND data. This new service is broadcast and costs do not depend on the number of users. Apple has sold 130,000,000 phones already just in this half of 2015. A one time payment of about $1 per phone might cover the costs. >> hmmmmm……I do believe the marketing boys have been playing with the >> numbers.
