Two people travelling in a vehicle that fell into a remote California canyon were saved with the help of Apple\u2019s Crash Detection and Emergency SOS via Satellite <\/a>features.<\/p>\n

According to tweets by Montrose Search & Rescue Team, deputies and fire were notified of the December 13th crash through a call from the Apple emergency satellite service.<\/p>\n

The vehicle had dropped 300 feet. While the occupants extricated themselves, they had no cell service to call for help. But through Emergency SOS via Satellite, the occupants could text a relay center, which then notified authorities.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time the features have made headlines for helping people.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a stranded snowmobiler in Alaska<\/a> used Emergency SOS via Satellite to call for help.\u00a0The feature is available on iPhone 14 and 14 Pro models and connects devices out of reach of cellular networks with satellites.<\/p>\n

However, recent reports have indicated Crash Detection can lead to accidental calls when skiing<\/a> or riding rollercoasters<\/a>. Despite the reports, the importance of either feature is hard to argue about.<\/p>\n
