The iPhone 14‘s Crash Detection feature is accidentally being triggered and therefore calling emergency services when users are riding a roller coaster rather than being involved in a real automotive accident.
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, several users of the new iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro at amusement parks across the United States have reported emergency services and contacts being alerted that they’ve been involved in a car crash as they’ve ridden roller coasters. The accidental trigger of Apple’s latest safety features is likely caused by the sudden breaking and movement of roller coasters, triggering the iPhone‘s sensors to misinterpret the movement as a car crash.
