The accident detection feature, introduced with the Apple iPhone 14 family, continues to attract worldwide reactions. If we recall, many emergency services in the USA had complained about false notifications sent with Apple’s accident detection feature in the past weeks. Now, ski resorts have been added to these notifications.

Apple takes action on false reports

Today, the accident detection feature, which comes by default on all iPhone 14 and new generation Apple Watch models, gives the user a 10-second response time and notifies the emergency services if an accident is detected. However, apparently variable factors such as noisy environments and thick clothing can lead to undesirable situations.

In a recent report, The New York Post found that Pennsylvania and New York had experienced a burdensome increase in false 911 calls from local ski resorts. According to the statements, the accident detection feature comes into play when skiers and snowboarders roll over, as well as traffic accidents.

Following that, Apple said in a statement to The New York Post that it started collecting feedback from call centers that saw an increase in emergency calls. Thus, we can say that the software giant will take important steps in the detection process of false calls and accident detection feature.
