With the iPhone 14, Apple debuted the SOS emergency satellite connectivity feature. The feature was instrumental in saving the life of a man who was stranded in Alaska earlier this month. The feature of the phone has now once again demonstrated its ability to save lives by saving the lives of two people who fell into a deep gorge in California.
According to a report by Macrumors, a vehicle reportedly fell about 300 feet into a remote canyon during the incident, which happened on the Angeles Forest Highway in the Californian Angeles National Forest. The iPhone 14 quickly identified the collision and immediately sent an SOS to rescuers using satellite connectivity.
Apple iPhone 14 Emergency SOS sent a text message via satellite to one of Apple’s relay centres. The LA County Sheriff’s department was then contacted for assistance with the message. The Montrose Research and Rescue Team responded to the emergency call and travelled to the scene to save the two accident victims. They were subsequently taken to a nearby hospital to receive treatment for minor to moderate wounds.
