iPhone 14’s Crash Detection feature calls 911 on rollercoasters, report says

The “Crash Detection” feature in the new iPhone 14 lineup is designed to alert authorities when users are involved in a car crash. However, according to a report by Wall Street Journal, the feature has a side effect, that of alerting authorities even when the user is taking a rollercoaster ride. Crash detection on the new iPhone 14 series works when connected to mobile or Wi-Fi networks. The “Crash Detection” feature was first introduced in iPhones in Apple’s September “Far Out” event.
