The iPhone 14 family, which was introduced last month, attracted a lot of attention with its features. Bringing the “Always on Display” feature, which Android users have been using for years, to iPhones, Apple made a small revolution in the smartphone world with its Dynamic Island and Accident Detection features.
Of course, the iPhone 14’s crash detection doesn’t always work as well as expected. In the past days, we have conveyed to you that this feature both fails and saves lives. We even mentioned that the accident detection feature was activated several times in a roller coaster in the USA by mistake and sent a notification to the police.
Apple explains how crash detection system works
According to the news of AppleInsider, an interview with Apple officials Kaiann Drance and Ron Huang about this new accident detection feature last week has been published as of today. The remarkable part of the Interview was the point where Huang and Drance explained the “luckless” system of this feature.
In a statement, Huang explained that the most important part of this system is the gyroscope. Stating that the gyroscope, which has a sensing capacity of up to 100 Gs, is not enough, Huang stated that this system uses more than one sensor. “In addition to the gyroscope, the system uses your GPS signal to detect when you’re moving at high speeds, a barometer to detect the pressure created when the airbags explode, and microphones to make sure there’s been an accident,” the statement said. said Huang, stating that the system has a very complex algorithm and cannot work “by chance”.
However, although Huang states that this system does not work by chance, users say the opposite. While some users state that the system does not work in the event of an accident in their tests, some users and local police forces report that this system activates and sends notifications in places such as roller coasters (even though there is no accident).
