Checking Out the New iPhone Crash Detection Feature

- Many are questioning if iPhone's new crash detention feature is too sensitive. Doug Sonders was riding his motorcycle when his iPhone flew off the handlebars. He says the phone sent his emergency contacts an automated text message and called 911. To test the new technology, The Wall Street Journal conducted what they describe as a "not-exactly-scientific" test. Journal reporter Joanna Stern says the feature worked as advertised in the moving vehicle but not in the stationary one.
Ever since I first heard of this new feature, I couldn't help but question if this feature is actually a "safety feature" when it comes to the phone simply falling onto a floor or carpeting.
Maybe but it uses gps data, camera, microphones, gyro sensors, so it's not likey maybe in a rollercoaster.
I think the phone has to be traveling above a certain speed to trigger it. I’ve seen at least 20 mph.
what if u drop your phone off a balcony and it lands in bushes so it takes a while to find. do cops come?
@@mishaa7263 No, it goes off of horizontal location and not veritcal
@@mishaa7263 no, the phone can detect the sound of airbags and you traveling in a car
It’s a clever feature which could save many lives but it should be in testing more and tweaked more because if it goes off on a roller coaster, that is a manufacturer error and not a user error.
Well it uses g force to detect a crash and roller costars can pull many Gs so it’s not really it’s fault
I mean it does go off when someone's on the roller-coaster cause it happened to a few people and Apple said that they need to fix it.
Would it kill people to turn off the feature before going on the damn Rollercoaster?
Awesome feature. Thank you iPhone 🙌🏽. A neighbor of mine was missing for 2 months. Everyone thought someone killed her or was kidnapped. 2 months after, the cops found her body and car. She was in an accident and her car flew down the hill which was hard to fine cus all the bushes covering the car.
😂 look if you driving turn on apple crash feature. Otherwise don’t
Or don't keep your phone on you when you go on rides. That way it doesn't fall out and hit someone in the face, severely injuring them
literally just read a story about that 18yo girl hit in the face by a phone
Zip pocket.
Last year I went on a roller coaster. It went upside down and my phone flew out of my pocket. But get this - the girl sitting in front of me caught it. She gave it back to me when the ride stopped. Crazy experience.
@@budredhead00twitchy thank god it didn’t hit her head. You just avoided jail time.
Where do I put it then? In my car, 2 hours away?
I think the feature could probably use some tweaking, but I'm glad that this is a feature, and it is better for it to be overly sensitive than not sensitive enough. This could save lives.
It could also cause lives to be lost... 911 has enough to worry about without automated messages from iPhones tying up emergency lines.
One call center was basically overrun with these calls. Car play or Bluetooth isn't on when you're riding a roller coaster.. So why is it sending this distress call, when the junkyard car didn't?
@@Nasa-cosmonaut the roller coaster has Apple Car Play, duh.
@@Nasa-cosmonaut not all cars have Bluetooth or car play
@@phaZed9 the amount of wrong calls these phones will send is much less than the lives that will be saved
I really like this feature. I think it can be a lifesaver when needed.
Yeah, I was thinking the same. They released it to the public way too soon, before perfecting the tech. This tech has great potential and legit can be a life savor. Imagine getting involved in a car accident in the middle of nowhere and this phone calls 911 for you. Amazing technology. Just needs more tinkering and testing.
@@omairtech6711 It has been basically perfected at this point. I haven't heard of any new random set offs. And a few random occurrences of it going off is going to happen with a brand new feature. It will get media attention cuz its free bad press. At the end of the day any real world scenario it will detect a SEVERE crash. It will improve and eventually false positives will be very rare. I genuinely think this feature will save lives for years to come
@@starraidz791 most newer vehicles already do this. This is going to be a strain on the system that is already under funded. I've seen a few videos covering how this apple feature has been a huge problem for call centers.
Na men I hate it I want all of them to die.
u r sooo simple
Despite the economic downturn, I'm having the best time of my life financially. Earning over $83k in the last 2months with an investment of $19,000. Money can be made even in a bear market. Make the most of it.
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
it's all thanks to Mrs Angelia Maria Brown, her trading strategies is the best I can think of now
Most people do not know that trading is the best step to growing more income and generate wealth. I realized this after I came across Mrs Angelia Maria Brown trading platform, My financial life has completely changed all thanks to Mrs Angelia Maria Brown awesome trading strategies!!!
My uncle from Louisiana made over $ 3.7million USD directly to his portfolio and same as my other family members who started trading with Mrs Angelia
yeah most people don't know that trading is another way to generate wealth ..
Wait so if the triggers accidentally and it calls 911 what's going to happen will you be charged for misusing it even though it's not really your fault
Yea it's dangerous
I mean technically you could be charged but the police can choose whether to charge someone or not so I doubt they would once they find out it's not your fault
you arent gonna get charged
@@jkuku1 exactly. In no situation would any charges stick
Maybe charge the woman with the automated voice
“Your entire family thinks your dead”😂😂. Imagine the irony when they found out😭
This new feature is the new advanced “help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”
😂😂
"No longer necessary to press pesky/unwanted buttons anymore"
Yes, because a car crash is certainly the same as that.
@@nocturnal7345 Both sends a signal to another party for assistance.
Imagine someone throwing their iPhone on the bed and starts bouncing around and hits the floor. 🤣
Family and Friends: "I can't believe he's gone too soon 😭"
Hmmm yeah no friends and family will think that because it won’t trigger in the first place
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 u crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bouncing around 😏
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That won’t trigger emergency call! Apple isn’t idiot like you not think that situation.
It only triggers at high speeds, mainly while driving. So dropping it accidentally won’t trigger it.
Does your phone drop in slow motion?
@@hewhomustnotbenamed2864 does your phone fall at 70mph?
@@jaydenjarrett8827 If I dropped it from my apartment. 21st floor to be exact.
@@hewhomustnotbenamed2864 you have to reach up to 15 MPH for the iPhone to recognize you’re going fast.
damn ive been dropping my phone all day
I pushed both my parents to get this new phone because of that feature. In my area car accidents happen way too often. My mom was T boned by a truck at 60mph. She miraculously survived and is doing okay. But def not 100% the same. We all found out because I watch the scanners. But that will not always be the case. I hope they work the bugs out because this is a great idea and can mean a world of difference by having it.
This feature, regardless of the accidental triggers, is one I can deal with, It even works if you crash into a body of water and sends almost precise location. This will save a lot of lives.
Also, (I don't know the actual statistics, this is just made up numbers) if there is 1 false call for every 50 REAL calls, that is still 50+ lives that could be saved for 1 false call.
It actually doing it’s job. The first dude dropped his phone while on high speed…and the roller coaster it can seem like a crash.
WSJ and Inside Edition. The greatest collab in history.
i was in a near fatal crash last weekend after upgrading to the 14 pro max, it does in fact work, shortly after gaining consciousness i received a follow up phone call
Thankfully your alive
Cap
It used to happen to me at least 5years ago I don’t think it’s anything new

@@geographynonsensical5003 i know someone who had this experience too, idk why it’s so hard to believe
My stepbrother was drunk driving this one time, and hit a tree dead on. If it had not been for his Apple Watch, paramedics would have never showed up, and he would’ve been left for dead. Uncommon Apple w.
hope he won't do it again , then it will be a L for all drivers.....
I appreciate this feature. I drive a lot… I don’t have anyone expecting me to be anywhere. So if I get into an accident I am counting on this feature working. It’s the only main reason why upgraded my apple equipment.
From those of us that relate to the guide in KBase for everything: DO NOT DISABLE IT ALL TOGETHER.
Airplane mode is fine as a temporary solution.
I was in a car accident a few weeks ago and my phone called the police right away so from firsthand experience it works(I was fine and no one was injured).
which iphone do you have?
@@lovemyfrenns what do you think?
@@lovemyfrenns iPhone 14 pro
@@sythereaper8403 Glad no one was injured. 💜
@@10xvzq24 Funny you should ask, i think, you should mind your own business. My phone has contacted 911 without me doing anything for that to happen. And i do not have the 14. So, thanks for nothing. 😂
Too sensitive? It went flying 😭. The roller coaster incidents do need to be tweaked however, maybe with the option to turn it off
Airplane mode
Who brings a phone on a roller coaster? I would worry it would fall off.
put it in your pocket like a normal person.
my pockets work just fine
@@ChadH2023 But...but...nO pOcKeTs 🥺
@@fandroid6491 lol who doesn't have pockets?
Would you like a 🍔?
And you gonna be fined for it
Nah it shouldn’t trigger for drops unless it’s from a very high level
You need to be moving at a high speed
@@thetacoguyy or drop it at a high attitude
@@Vertex_vortex I think you needa be moving 20 mph
OMGOSH! Wtf? I don’t think I’d want to put my family through that. There’s not enough safeguards against when your phone is just dropped.
You have to be moving in certain speed
@@tendy101100 understood but still to many reasons you could drop your phone and I’m sure would set it off. Roller coasters, convertible vehicle, motorcycle (like him), bicycle? I’m not very careless with my phone but that one time something happens and then my whole family believes I’m deceased. Maybe it’s just me and my family but we’ve had toooo many deaths in the last 20 years. I could not put my mother, son and loved ones through that.
@@the1only467 yeah I agree it's scary especially with biker's family, and the roller coaster it's scary they must figure something out , but it is useful I read it actually called the emergency services for a car that actually crashed but unfortunately all the occupants passed away , I remember couple of years ago a woman died slowly on a ditch when her car had an accident but no one saw it so it is very useful tbh
@@tendy101100 I agree, I think it could be a useful service. Especially since most don’t have OnStar, but yes, something needs to be figured out to prevent it from making false calls.
Off-roading would always make my phone call 911 and I would be out of cell service so I just see hours later missed calls
Plot twist: his girl was in his friend’s house when she heard the news.
😂
Maybe the reason it didn’t work on the stationary car is because it detects when a moving object slows down immediately and pulls many Gs and the stationary car was never moving
Yeah that's what Apple said in their statement. Phone had no indication that it was driving as it was sitting stationary in the non-moving car and wasn't plugged in to carplay
I think so too
It always used to go off when I was off-roading so yeah you have to be going fast and lots of bumps
So it can save your life....if you're in a moving vehicle. It's not that useful if this is the case
This is what happens when people work from home. Get them developers back to the office! 😂
One of the most important, life saving features ever.🙏📱
me: Oops I drop it
Phone: POLICE HELP MY OWNER IS DYING HELP!!!
Paying attention while driving is more effective
You shouldn't text and drive at the same time
@@thecommenter578 can’t pay attention for other people buddy
@@derrickjuinor the point was directly in your face, yet you managed to miss it completely
One minute you drop your phone by mistake and the next thing you know your entire family thinks your dead.
Dropping yoyr phone vs kt flying at over 20mph+ is very different
Anyone who can't use the correct "you're" probably should be
@@lewiskelly14 k
It doesn’t work like that
I had this feature for three years Google actually had this feature first on their Google pixel phones. My phone has never called 911 because I dropped my phone or went on a ride
Better to be safe than sorry
Is it too sensitive? Like no this is literally what would happen in a real car crash, you phone would go flying off your bike, the fact that this feature got triggered means that it would save this bikers life
2:11 Imagine you were the passenger. Not only is Siri trying to save the driver’s life thanks to Apple CarPlay but EMS is also responsible for making sure there’s no one else that’s hurt in the accident.
"Turn the feature off all together."
What if you get into an actual crash-
I guess we'll need to inform the authorities in thes same ways that have worked fairly well up until a few months ago? I mean, seriously.. Apple didn't invent 911.. they're only abusing it.
That’s why you only turn it off at select locations or you know if you’re doing select things such as riding a roller coaster, and then turn it back on when you’re done or when you leave the amusement park
Why does it matter if only one of the phone is calling 911 in an car accident? they will arrive att the same accident
What if the other person doesn’t have an iPhone?
'drops iPhone on floor'
*911 a severe car crash has been detected*
This technology should be placed on users car or two wheeler as well and work together along with the phone to detect possible accident, instead of relying just on the phone as these incidents showcase,that at times it can give out false alerts if it's entirely triggered by the phone.
Some car company's like Honda and GM already have this available in cars. Honda link can detect a crash and signal emergency responses
@@dootdoot113 Wow, that's nice to hear!
Turn it off .. ok … ok… but the day you really need it, it’d be too late
Why not test Google Pixel's crash detection? It's the original.
Exactly
They also tested it
My brother just bought the iphone 14 pro max and he’s a trucker and he said that he had braked relatively soft at a stop sign and that the crash detection started going off
this feature should be implemented on apple watch to trace user health condition & call an authority. eg accident, heart attack, drowning etc
I’m pretty sure it is and has been for a couple models
Phone: *flies off a motorcycle and flips around dozens of not hundreds of times at highway speeds on a highway*
Inside Edition: iS tHis pErHaPs ToO sEnSeTiVe??¿?
what if i trip and my phone goes flying down the stairs? does my phone dial all the paramedics?
it only calls if you don't respond in an (x) amount of time
It works cause it detects when your phone goes faster than 20 MPH
*people who drop their phones from a rollercoaster:*
59,400 views, 3.1k likes, 322 comments, 11.2M subscribers. Nice!!
I think it will be a good feature right now, but sometimes it will have some problems. I think it will evolve over time and be a very useful feature. Definitely a good idea from apple (finally)
Pretty sure Apple didn't come up with this. Pixels been had this feature (not sure who else) but yeah Apple didn't come up with it.
@@JayWill_DoIt ok.
I drive a car with a lot of torque and with my slicks I’ve noticed that it’s tried to call 911 when I’ve done some accelerations
Honestly, I’m not surprised this feature turned out as a complete failure. Don’t get me wrong, the idea behind it is good, but knowing Apple, I knew something stupid was bound to happen.(And this is coming from an Apple user.)
Complete failure? Citation needed.
Failure? More like the feature doing it’s job lmao yes it detects non crashes, you should be mad if the feature didn’t work at all.
Just another useless Product from a Useless Crappy Apple Company.
😂 apple doesn’t care about your opinion this company has trillions dollars by now
1:16 i like how the iphone just immediately assumes the worst, like owner was in severe car crash, call the whole force lol
You mean traveling at high rate of speeds? Do you really not see how by a gps pov that maybe it could be serious?
@@TheRealNoahF chill bro it was a light hearted comment lol
oh no maybe its too sensitive since the phone fell of a motorcycle going maybe 120MPH (where logic)
If you don't want it you can disable it, stop causing unnecessary drama because this feature is actually amazing.
iphone: *falls off bike and hits the road at 60MPH*
reporter: "is this new feature too sensative?"
iphone falls to the floor.
iphone: the owner of this phone is dead
THE NEW FEATURE IS BASICALLY THE NEW HELP I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!
i think it should have an on off switch so that you can activate it when you want it but it can be shut off at will everything in new technology is
always going to have few bugs in its working system as it gradually improves i would hesitate to run out and grab the newest fancy gadgets
because it will always get better and the price comes down
pixel has an on and off toggle.
how would you turn it on if you're unconscious or dead?
New? Google has had crash detection feature since at least 2019
The iPhone detects the crash with the new components it has to experience a certain amount of G-Forces for it to activate.
Literally just uses a gyroscope which every phones has 🤣
@@thetacoguyy nope it has special gyroscopes and accelerometers found in the new iPhones and Apple Watches but yea almost every phone has one
@@InaMopar it's literally the normal gyroscope just named different, even the pixel has it
@@thetacoguyy It's a newly designed gyroscope dude.
@@lntg there's nothing new about it though quite literally 😅
Or better yet, just don’t bring your phone on the ride! It can fall out, be destroyed, and could even hurt somebody if it goes the wrong way. A phone flew off of El toro and it fell with such force that it broke open and the parts went spewing everywhere
Unrealistic when we need our phones
@KTDonald87 but you're in the middle of nowhere, so your phone is not going to get signal

Only google pixel phones have great car crash feature
What if you leave your phone at Ezra Miller's house? Will it send out an SOS?
U in danja girl! "🙈
Google pixel had it before the iPhone 📱 🎉😊
Amazing use of the technology, especially if the crash happens somewhere remote and traps/incapacitates the people in the car. However, some bugs will probably have to be ironed out in order to make it the best it can be.
I think it should it give you an option weather you want to turn it on or everytime you get in a car
My greatest happiness is the $ 64,000 bi weekly profit I get consistently from my $15,000 investment despite the economic fluctuation☺️☺️
Can I borrow 15K? 🤣
Is a good feature the guy with a bike showed that it works, imagine if he really did crash somewhere where not many people pass by.
2:13 or maybe just not bring it with you on a ride 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe I'm stupid but I drop my phone I would say at least once a week, does that mean I need to explain them it's not a emergency every week lol
Imagine working at a emergency call center after lots of people use their new Iphone lmao🤣
as a 911 operator this is one of the worst things to exist. When we received the call the siri voice stalks talking immediately and we can’t hear over it. It also gives latitude and longitude so we need to listen closely as she’s talking so fast to write down the numbers. Since the call isn’t being made to 911, as it’s automatic the phone location isn’t extremely accurate and moves frequently which gives us no idea where the location actually is. Apple really should’ve coordinated with dispatch centers before just making their product 911, they have no idea how difficult it is for us to process all the information when siri is talking like she’s on steroids.
DO. NOT. call 911 without my consent
Poor motorcycle guy droped his new $999 phone.
Few bugs to fix, cool feature
Drops phone:thise car has been in a severe car crash
0:45 call your girlfriends????? My man is a pimp.
Not a lawsuit there just trying to make iPhone better
It was activated when I was jumping and running
The real question is why did you have your phone in your pocket on a roller coaster?
where else would it be?
We need to cancel Apple now. Before it is too late.
Maybe it's too sensitive or maybe it's predicting the future who knows🤔
Hello 911 , my phone just fell off the bed.
Perfect gadget for doing Money Heist.
disable the feature if you don't like it
FIRST: I’m sorry but, why you riding with your phone on a rollercoaster? Most amusement parks clearly state to not ride with them as they can become a flying object and hurt someone behind you. SECOND: the likelihood of phones flying off motorcycles is pretty low .. this feature is designed to add an EXTRA form of protection just like fall detection does. I just think people will always find a reason to be upset about something…
My phone falls out of my hands at least twice a day. Can't do my family like that...
It only gets triggered trough "impact" and "speed"... If you drop it it won't go off😂 It's a useful features but it needs tweaking...
It's like...maybe people shouldn't be reliant so much on technology...
People on Rollercoasters
But we have no 911 in our country
Went to the comments to see if anyone thought it was the guys fault and no one’s here lmao
my phone called the cops after i went to cedar point
Well why didn't you just turn that feature off? Or better yet not bring your phone on a rollercoaster
Complaining that your phone called your family and emergency services for you after a motorcycle crash because it made them worry for a little but it wasn’t that bad you think - is some serious 1st world problems.
Everyone is treating this feature like it's new when Google basically did this first before anyone else.
a few years ago
No one thinks this is a new feature it’s just that most consumers use other phones besides Pixels most of the people I know use Samsung or Apple devices. Blame Google for not marketing the feature and devices more.
@@jonathan_calixto they absolutely think it's a new feature...
Android is better 😁
don't bring phones on rides Period it is a safety hazard and you don't need to text someone in the middle of a drop on a rollercoaster, they have shelves outside most rides for a reason
put the phone in your pocket...
Hope theres an option to turn this off.
I would hate to have any device that does this.
Kinda don't want to be charged by police for wasting their time because my phone thinks I'm on a crash for what ever reason.
Classic overpriced trash
I'm here in the Philippines on a business trip I received a Notification that my wife was in an automobile accident THANK YOU APPLE. you saved her life. went off the a cliff in California THANK YOU Times a thousand
well then how did the sos go off for the lady on the rollercoaster when it did not have any “carplay” or bluetooth but somehow did not when it was in a car?
apple should be working on their tech better!
I just found out the SOS thing uses the Samantha TTS voice, that is able to be used in the Shortcuts apps Speak Text command
