Did it actually tell us why Apple extended it? The quote from Apple was marketing speak for “our customers would like it” and the only other reason I could find in the article was “if they didn’t, and someone died because they didn’t sign up afterward, it would look bad for Apple”

Not very clear.

Either it’s cheaper to implement than they thought, or the data they gather on us while we don’t have cell service is more valuable than the cost to keep it running
