The iPhone's Crash Detection feature has proven its usefulness once again. According to WFMJ, in early August, 16-year-old Lindsay Leskovac was driving home late one evening when she fell asleep at the wheel. Her car crashed, and the young driver suffered serious injuries, including a broken leg and a whiplash injury. She also lost consciousness after the accident. Luckily, Lindsay had her iPhone 14, which automatically dialed 911 after the crash and sent paramedics straight to the scene. Her mother admitted she didn't know about the feature and was shocked to learn that the call wasn't made by a person, but by the phone itself.

"I found out that iPhones from model 14 onwards have a Crash Detection feature if it is turned on in the settings. I am convinced that it saved my daughter's life", said the driver's mother. Apple equips not only iPhones with this technology, but also Apple WatchCrash Detection can be activated in Settings > Emergency SOS > Turn on calls after serious accidents.oneThe function is available on iPhonech 14 and later (with iOS 16 or higher), Apple Watch Series 8 and later, Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) and Apple Watch Ultra s watchOS 9 or later. Stories like Lindsay's show how much of an impact the combination of software and hardware can have in saving lives. While Crash Detection has seen false positives in the past, this case is further proof that it makes sense to always have it turned on.
Certainly good... But how many trips are completely unnecessary? See the case in our country, where the phone just fell out and also called 😐
