According to a recent report from The Wall Street Journal, several iPhone 14 users across the U.S. have noticed that their newly bought iPhone 14 handsets tend to mistake roller coaster rides for severe car crashes. The report talks about six different instances of emergency family contacts and emergency services being alerted to a severe car crash when the victims of the supposed crash were simply having a gala time at an amusement park. The iPhone 14 lineup uses its onboard sensors to detect sudden jerky movements and extremely fast deceleration rates that are the hallmark of a car crash.
Unfortunately, similar movements also happen while riding roller coasters, and it seems some iPhone 14 handsets cannot distinguish between the two events. Given that the iPhone 14 lineup has been around only for a few weeks now, there is a good chance of a huge spike in the number of such erroneous emergency calls being triggered on iPhones as more users upgrade. It is unclear at this time how Apple intends to fix this issue. In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, an Apple spokesperson did say that the company will “continue to improve” the crash detection feature over time. For now, though, it seems the coming weeks could be rather busy for people working with emergency services.
