One Of The New Features Of The iPhone 14 Is The Possibility Of Accident Detection, But Does This Feature Work Properly? To Answer This Question, A Youtuber Tested The iPhone 14 In Crash Conditions.
Last week, we published the first user experiences of journalists about the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro and shared the unboxing and the first look at this phone.
Now the famous YouTuber TechRax has tested the crash detection capability of the latest iPhone generation by publishing a video. This review shows how Apple’s “severe car crash” features will work on the iPhone 14 Pro.
This YouTuber has published a video in which we see a driverless car, and he tried to simulate some car accidents. While minor accidents don’t seem enough to activate the iPhone’s crash detection feature, 9to5Mac managed to activate the feature twice on the iPhone 14 Pro.
It is worth noting that the above test was conducted without a driver and in a safe place where no one is present, and it is recommended that you refrain from repeating it.
Accident detection is one of the exclusive features of the iPhone 14 series, Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE 2, and Apple Watch Ultra, which we will review Apple’s explanation about in the following:
Using a new dual-core accelerometer capable of detecting G-forces up to 256Gs and a high dynamic range gyroscope, iPhone’s crash detection capability can now detect severe crashes in cars and when the user is unconscious or unable to contact emergency services. , communicate with the assistance centers, and inform them about the accident.
This feature can detect the pressure changes in the car cabin by using some components, including the pressure gauge, and measure the additional input and speed changes using GPS.
In addition, the microphone can detect loud sounds in severe car accidents.
Additionally, Apple has trained highly advanced motion algorithms with data from over a million hours of real-world driving and crash-related data to increase crash detection accuracy.
Interestingly, this video’s crash detection on the iPhone 14 doesn’t require as much impact as Apple’s promotional videos suggest.
In addition, activating this feature does not require a complete rollover of the car because the iPhone uses more sensors, including the sound of the crash, to activate this function. You can watch the iPhone 14 accident detection review video below.
