How It Stands By You

In a town like Borrego Springs, where unexpected challenges like floods, power outages, spotty cell service, unreliable internet service, and blistering heat waves can catch us off guard, the Emergency SOS feature of your iPhone 14 becomes a beacon of hope.

When local networks falter due to these challenges, this feature steps in, allowing you to reach out to emergency services and provide them with your precise location. It’s like having a guardian angel in your pocket, ready to assist when you need it the most.

Get Set for Whatever Comes Your Way

Using Emergency SOS

1. Satellite Connection: Hold your iPhone naturally, ensuring you are outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Follow the simple onscreen instructions to establish a connection with a satellite.
2. Text for Help: If making a call isn’t feasible, don’t worry. You can send a text to emergency services using the power of satellites. Providing quick answers to their questions and crucial details will get you the help you need.
3. Keep Loved Ones Informed: If you’ve already set up your emergency contacts, your iPhone can notify them about your situation and share your exact location.

Pro’s Intelligent Car Crash Detection

How Crash Detection Operates

The iPhone 14 Pro is also equipped to sense a significant car crash and automatically initiate a 911 call while informing your emergency contacts.

This feature is ideal for a rural town like Borrego Springs, where often we have to travel through long sections of road without cell service. And can not always rely on a friendly car to see that we need help.

When a significant car crash is detected by your iPhone, it will promptly display an alert and automatically trigger an emergency phone call within 20 seconds, unless you intervene. Should you remain unresponsive, your iPhone will broadcast an audio message to emergency services. This message will convey that you’ve experienced a serious crash and provide your precise latitude and longitude coordinates, along with an estimated search radius.

No cell or wifi needed.
