The only thing different is their face scanning tech, that's it - 99% of people don't use it. Samsung has had 108mp for years too

no, not the signing in method

This seems like something Mark Zuckerberg would own and on that basis alone I hate it.

I thought people shouldn’t have phones when they’re in roller coasters. Just this year there was a girl who almost died because she was hit by a flying phone at a state fair. Someone on a roller coaster dropped their phone.

Honestly sounds like a solution in search of a problem. How many motorists are really involved in crashes where all occupants are unconscious but still alive, who will not be quickly spotted by another motorist, and within cell/emergency service range?

I was in a near emergency once, found 19 percent charge because my battery was constantly looking for service in a area with no coverage. First thing I did was turn my iPhone off because it’s not smart enough to manage battery life

Give your phone to grandma

This sub is a place for odd people to share things they would totally buy if they were just millionaires.

I get the toggle, but I think that isn’t the Apple way. Someone is going to forget to turn it back on. Their model needs better training.

It has a toggle for “call after severe crash”. That would essentially be turning it off. But I guess perhaps the crash detection is still on but it just won’t call emergency services if it’s toggled off. Unfortunately I’m not willing to test it out.

It’s not downvoting for fanboyism. It’s downvoting blind haters. There is a comment with plenty of upvotes with actual suggestions and ridiculing lack of a feature to tell disable. The downvotes are for people saying “dur hur Apple so bad”.

My laptop is still 9 or so pounds.

I like this idea. Should be an official feature request!

I remember being so excited when we upgraded our modem from 14.4 ro 28.8. Then later 56k was soooo fast

So many Apple fanboys in here lmao.. downvote away you’re a bunch of clowns worshiping this company when they are consistently dogshit and shady but oh look at this data collection shiny, time to fork out another few thousand

Maybe they could do it like snoozing app notifications: “Silence for 1 hour/6 hours/end of day/etc”

Maaan I'm fucking old. I remember when laptops were like NINE POUNDS so like, anything 3 or 4 lbs is still a luxury to me.
Same goes for internet speed. If I'm getting like 10MBps I'm happy. Every cellphone that gets 4G is fully capable of that.
It still seems like yesterday I was wrestling with wireless modems doing 128k.
Even if I can get the weight of my bicycle down to 21 lbs (in this age of 12 lb bikes) I can't complain.

See, this is what getting old is like.

As a local JetSki owner, I can tell you I regard a vacationer on something like this as a ‘traffic cone’, around which to carve tight corners.

It IS a serious event. I work on a ski hill and someone died when he crashed into a tree last season. Got to see the helicopter land and everything…

I hate how accurate this is

This is gonna sound dumb, but if it’s a toggle I’d be more likely to forget to turn it back on unless it reminded me. I’m almost guaranteed to take my phone out of airplane mode when so I can actually use my phone when I’m done with the ride.

A toggle would still be great, just in my particular case it’d be more difficult for me to manage since it’s not a feature that’s on my mind

True. Not many people get in car accidents ~inside~ an amusement park. Although those little rental carts for people with mobility issues can be treacherous in the wrong hands. Lol

I think you'd want to leave it on at ski resorts. If you crash into a tree going downhill it is usually a serious event. I don't know how sensitive the threshold is, however, so it probably needs some tuning around falling down versus serious crash.

Yeah I just use mine as a hammer.
