Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via Satellite
The entire iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking security features that assist in emergencies when it matters most. With a new dual-core accelerometer capable of measuring G-forces that can reach 256Gs, and the introduction of a high-dynamic range gyroscope Crash Detection on iPhone can be able to detect an egregious car accident, and then automatically call emergency services if a person cannot access their iPhone. These capabilities build on existing parts, including the barometer which is able to now detect cabin pressure changes and the GPS as an additional source of input to detect speed changes, and the microphone which is able to detect the loud sounds that are typical of crash scenes. Innovative Apple-designed motion algorithms that have been trained with over a million hours of real-world driving as well as crash records provide greater precision. When combined together with Apple Watch, Crash Detection effectively leverages the strengths of both devices in order to provide users help efficiently. In the event of a major crash being identified, an emergency contact interface is displayed within Apple Watch, as it is most likely to be closer to the person who is using it, and the call is placed through iPhone whenever it’s within proximity to the user for the most effective connection.6

Since every second counts, using Emergency SOS via satellite, iPhone provides a series of vital inquiries to determine the severity of the situation, and shows them where to point their phone for a connection to a satellite. Initial questions and subsequent messages are sent to centers that are staffed by Apple-trained specialists who can contact for assistance for the person who is calling. This revolutionary technology allows users to share their satellite location using Find My when there is an absence of Wi-Fi or cell phone giving them a sense safety when camping or hiking away from the grid. Satellite-based emergency SOS will be made available to people across the US and Canada during November. the service will be free for two years.7
