According to CBS, a man in the Mount Wilson area near Los Angeles is thanking Apple for his rescue, thanks to the new features that the iPhone 14 brings. On Friday night, the man lost control of his car and fell into a 120-meter deep ravine.
The new features of the iPhone 14 played a decisive role in his rescue. One of them is the “Crash Detection”, where the phone automatically detects the collision. Another is the “Emergency SOS via Satellite”, which allowed the man to alert about the accident he had.
The iPhone 14 immediately detects the conditions of the collision and automatically sends an emergency message with precise location information. Therefore, the local authorities are immediately informed and can act immediately.
The head of the local rescue team stated: “The man was 120 meters deep in a gorge, essentially without exit. Who knows when and if we would have found him.” However, thanks to the smart feature of the iPhone 14, the man was timely extricated and a tragedy avoided.
The “Emergency SOS via Satellite” feature is a valuable addition for emergency situations where usual communications may not be available. Although this feature has not yet reached Greece, there is a possibility that it may be available in the future.
The iPhone 14 proves once again how technology can save lives and provide practical benefits in critical situations.
