Do you have a problem with technology saving lives? Which is clearly the case here.Open your wallets everyone, look how good our phones are! Yawn.

If you have cell service the crash detection feature would have alerted authorities as well.Good story for the technology, however you have to be in good enough shape after a crash to be able to crawl out of your car I'd imagine to use the satellite feature. If you're trapped but otherwise still alive you probably wont be able to use it.
Wow.If you follow the Twitter breadcrumbs, y'all find out people in the cars are... wait for it... influencers.😑😑😑
I'd bet dollars to donuts they were filming some stupid YouTube/TikTok crap when they went over the edge.😒 Doing stupid stunts or taking stupid risk for likes.🤦♂️ Ugh.
and that would be a personal problem. lolOr, maybe you do t have an iPhone 14?
The Rich and Dead group won't have an opinion on the matter.Some might disagree...![]()
And you would have lost that bet.If you follow the Twitter breadcrumbs, y'all find out people in the cars are... wait for it... influencers.😑😑😑

Hopefully it’s getting better with machine learning from all these declines from customers.how many false positives will this lead to? I had to decline the feature 3x while playing flag football on Thanksgiving…and we arnt not very athletic 😂
What’s your point? People call 911 without iPhones for all sorts of things like cold pizza - so let’s not pretend the only false 911 calls ever come from iPhones.Apple sound like they are the good Samaritans who save lives, but I wonder how much money its users have to pay for each saved life statistically. At the same time Apple causes a lot of problems by contacting 911 because someone took a rollercoaster. That is really dangerous for people who really need help at the same time.
Of course every saved life is important, but for example if everybody bought some cheap smoke detectors for his home, it is much more likely that those smoke detectors will save his life than Apple's Emergency SOS via Satellite. Unless of course he is someone with very dangerous hobbies.
As long as the service is free for all, the cost/benefit ratio of course is zero, but once it costs money after two years or so, there may be better ways to invest $10 per month into your own security.
Oh the fake outrage over a useful feature. Yawn.Open your wallets everyone, look how good our phones are! Yawn.
Unbounded negativity is the currency of the internet. Mainly because it gets attention/engagement and, due to the ad sponsored nature of the internet, engagement is all that matters, whether it’s folks that like or dislike a thing. Even for folks that aren’t financially benefitting it, it’s the way they see communication used often (by those who ARE benefitting) and they just adopt that.I'm one of the really old folks. In all my years I've never seen negativism like I'm seeing here. It's not just the negative comments, it's all those people who are giving those comments a thumbs up. I sincerely feel sorry for you people - how sad going through life just feeding on the dark side. Where does this way of being come from .. Is it a habit developed on social media? - Or what?
No, spending time telling strangers about things you don’t like is a trait that idiots all over the internet seem to like, we can’t credit that to social media.I'm one of the really old folks.

Best to think of the iPhone system as an emergency backup if your going into the wilderness - sat communicators are optimised and ruggedized for one primary job only, and, at least for the short-term, are likely to be more reliable in getting help than the iPhone system.It's an excellent service for peace of mind for emergencies.
A satellite phone costs about 500 dollars, has no crash detection and needs a 100 dollars monthly plan. That's the only alternative.
Well I'll tell you one thing... You sure wouldn't be reading about this if it was an Android device! har harSo, and I’m just asking questions, isn’t it convenient that these folks just HAPPENED to be rescued with Apple devices on them? Almost sounds like we wouldn’t be reading about it if they had gotten rescued some other way. If there’s more accidents this year than last year, can’t we just assume that every extra accident is just a staged marketing event for Apple?
Jus’ askin’ kwerschuns…
Done!Open your wallets everyone, look how good our phones are! Yawn.
Waiting for the iPhone to have automatic troll detection...All the negativism over a free service that saves lives?
CAUTION; Trolls at work!
Right, that's what i was thinking.I don't think that will work for satellite. I think it requires some sort of manual alignment but I could be wrong on this. I know it will call emergency services over cellular.
Thats what came up my mind as well. Dry road, couple in there twenties(age eligible for car insurance payment boost), not saying it was staged. I guess I wait for the story in some mini series. I hope nobody expects i am not going to wish both “get well soon”. Btw just updated to 16.2. and its not bad.Apple Marketing ramping up...
