Reply to comment by [deleted] in iPhone 14 Crash Detection gets man to wife's accident before ambulance by chrisdh79
Yeah, I'm sure it was the crash detection and not the fact that his wife suddenly screamed while driving and the conversation stopped suddenly. And it wasn't a matter of life and death, the crash was light according to the article.
>He was on a phone call with her when he heard her scream — and the line went dead.
from the article.

It would have still been the crash detection guiding him to the GPS location of the crash.

That's a fair point. It's a good feature.

Or he just did a "find my phone"??

Maybe, but then why write the article?

The crash detection also sends GPS deets to someone? I hadn't heard that.

It sends GPS location to emergency services and your emergency contacts, otherwise what would be the point? “Your wife has crashed, somewhere on planet earth. Good luck!”

I mean, yes of course to emergency services, didn't know about the emergency contacts.
To be fair, I didn't really look into the details of how Apple did it since Google did this a few years ago (I have a Pixel). I completely forgot about the emergency contacts bit. Just checked and I have it set up with my wife already. Oops.

How long before we hear about the first idiot who sets his iPhone to send a crash notification out to his wife and his mistress?
