With the iPhone 14 series introduced at the Far Out event on September 7, Apple sat on the agenda of the smartphone world. The company has introduced many new features with its models. One of the important innovations brought by the series was the accident detection feature.
iPhone 14 traffic accident detection does not work in all situations
iPhone 14 detects if the user has had a traffic accident and makes an emergency call if no response is received within 20 seconds. So much so that this feature seen in the series has been tried by many users in the past days.
The iPhone, which detected an accident a few seconds after the collision in the video published recently, waited for a few seconds for a response from the user whether he wanted emergency help. The device, which did not receive a response, started a 10-second timer and when the time expired, the emergency call feature was activated.
However, in all these tests, the iPhone 14 was inside the vehicle that came in motion. The Michigan YouTuber who conducted the test placed an iPhone 14, a Google Pixel, an Apple Watch Ultra strapped to the driver’s wrist in the moving vehicle. He put an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a Google Pixel 6 in the garbage truck he was going to collide with.
The situation that emerged after the collision created doubts about the iPhone 14 traffic accident detection feature. The devices in the rapidly crashing vehicle were able to detect the accident. However, the iPhone 14 Pro Max and a Google Pixel 6 devices in the garbage truck failed to detect the hard collision. This raised questions about the feature not working well enough.
