Explained | iPhone 14 crash detection feature’s false alarm

The story so far: On September 7, in its “Far Out” event Apple released the iPhone 14 line-up. The crash detection feature, available throughout the iPhone 14 line-up, makes use of the dual-core accelerometers, the dynamic range gyroscope, barometer, GPS and microphone. The crash detection features, thus makes use of the data collected by the different hardware features to determine the intensity of a crash and contact emergency assistance services. In Kings Island, an amusement park, crash detection triggered calls to emergency services on at least six different occasions. The simple solution to avoid accidental calls to emergency services is to not take the devices with crash detection on rollercoasters or other rides in an amusement park.
