With the introduction of the iPhone 14 models, Apple also revealed the emergency satellite connection system. This system, which allows iPhone 14 users to send emergency messages via satellite connection during periods when they cannot reach cellular data or Wi-Fi, has saved the lives of many people so far. Now it’s the turn of the trees.
iPhone 14 and satellite connection system prevented forest fire
Recently, fires have increased considerably in the northern hemisphere, including our country, with the effect of summer months. Large forested areas of Canada are also among the regions where fires are frequently experienced. Especially in mountainous areas, many people have difficulty in reaching the aid teams, as the phones do not receive reception. However, at this point, Apple’s emergency satellite link system seems to have stepped in.
A couple battling a forest fire at Dog Lake in Ontario, Canada, used the iPhone 14 feature to contact emergency services, according to regional sources. Acting on the emergency message, the authorities managed to intervene in the fire in a short time. Fortunately, the fire was quickly extinguished.
While traveling on the lake, people who noticed that there was a fire on an island state that they used the emergency satellite connection system of the iPhone 14. The campers, who later informed the authorities, prevented the fire on the island from growing further.
Apple’s emergency satellite link has so far been used to rescue stranded people in some areas. This feature, which has saved many lives until now, has now prevented a forest from disappearing.
The emergency satellite connection system that Apple started to offer with the iPhone 14 models can be described as very useful. So what do you think about the forest fire and Apple’s emergency satellite link system? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
