I mean, yes of course to emergency services, didn't know about the emergency contacts.

To be fair, I didn't really look into the details of how Apple did it since Google did this a few years ago (I have a Pixel). I completely forgot about the emergency contacts bit. Just checked and I have it set up with my wife already. Oops.

In all seriousness, this say much more about how antiquated emergency services are than about how advance the iPhone is.

It sends GPS location to emergency services and your emergency contacts, otherwise what would be the point? “Your wife has crashed, somewhere on planet earth. Good luck!”

My Pixel never went off when I went on roller coasters this year although I didn't take it on the most extreme one due to fear of it falling out. It's certainly plausible.

How would you fix this? Create exclusion zones for crash detection?

Recroommasters will supposedly be back in business soon. They were one of the good ones.

The crash detection also sends GPS deets to someone? I hadn't heard that.

But you wouldn’t know where she was and how to get help there if she wasn’t able to. This may be a bad story but it’s good technology.

What about all those times it failed?

How’s it work exactly?

I’m very tempted to slam my phone into a pillow or run into a wall or something to see if I can trigger it…

I have for last couple of years used a breville hotcup. It only boils 1 mugs worth of water and in about 15 seconds. New ones now are adjustable so you can do an expresso size up to a big mug. (UK)

This is a post is an advertisement literally from Apple Insider. What the fuck, /r/gadgets?

The whole basic idea of a phone is to make calls and send text messages

Everything else is just a nice to have

The google pixel is well known for a having a glitch that disables calling, I think to emergency lines only but thats worse.

So its a phone that can glitch out and disable half the phones primary functions

And its like they keep fixing it but it keeps coming back, by this point I wouldn’t be surprised if pixel is on the way to the google graveyard

Doesn’t matter, crash detected

Them why does my toaster always fuck with the electricity in the house?

It smells like commercials thousand miles away…

"The couple had only recently upgraded to the iPhone 14 thanks to a deal they got on the smartphones. The husband was aware of the feature but wasn't interested in it as he didn't think he'd ever use it."

Apple needs to use this quote in their next ad.

Bring back the mini versions. WTF Apple. We want mobile phones not mini tablets

Lol I see the point you’re making but I couldn’t help but laugh

There are some easy rule of thumbs to see how much power stuff is using:

- If it gets really hot, it sucks lots of power: good hair dryers, heaters, kettles, ACs, induction hobs (these can be huge, 5000W+ when running at max on multiple zones), beefy PCs,...

- If it uses a transformer (so less than the mains voltage), it does not use lots of power: anything that runs on USB, laptops, routers, door bells...

Thats it, these simple rules should cover 90+% of your appliances. There are of course exceptions but these are not typically part of a household like stuff with beefy motors like industrial power tools, elevator motors, ...

Fucking famsastic

Right !!! Had a friend with spinal injury, so we picked him up and threw him in the back of the truck and drove him to the hospital but then, as we went to pull him out of the back of the truck, he was lifeless and all white colored. What does that mean?

It’s open source. I bring joy to the masses ( in my head )

I'm going by what the guy said. I'm a Redditor. We don't click articles.
