A California couple’s car spun off the road and over a cliff in Angeles National Forest earlier this week. After the accident, they found one of their phones shattered with no cell service, but the iPhone 14 sent their coordinates to rescuers via satellite and helped them text with emergency services. The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department rescued the two, hoisting them out of the canyon.

#California #iPhone #CarCrash
Yeah we already know this was yesterday’s news
Android sheep mad 😂😂
she probably wasn’t paying attention, young drivers 🙄
but i always pay attention, not like what she did probably
@zack zeman i dont get the point of coming into the comment section and being negative with your speculation. you have no clue if any negligence was involved so why throw shade?
well that wasn’t the case.. they were tailgated so stop assuming smh
so, she just needs to learn better maybe, just saying
She wasn’t driving. He was.
Wow! Angels of God protected them during the crash. They could have died or suffered severe injuries going over that cliff! The iphone could have been broken. Glad they are well.
@Liz Hall Ikr… something about this event seems off. Falling 300 feet in a 2000 pound box and leaving with a band aid? Smells like insurance fraud to me, or paid marketing lol
>engineers work tirelessly year after year to develop safe cars and crash detection software
“angels of god” saved them!
You just can’t cure stupid.
@TNTkeynine don’t be so rude. Respect other people’s religions. They are not causing any harm by having those beliefs and the truth is we can’t prove if there’s a god or not.
@Rachelcookie321 if he was real…. *everyone* would know
@Your Pastor no they wouldn’t. God doesn’t go around doing big acts of power to show everyone. The last time he did that was with jesus.
It was the same phone that was being used while driving till they went out of the road 🙂
Don’t say that you have lot of life ahead of yourself! You don’t know the plans of God almighty. IT may not be written this way, it may be written some other way.
Stupid arrogant statement.Mercy of God and humility pave the way.
Not a huge fan of putting a paywall on emergency services, but I guess I don’t trust doctors or police anyways.
Paywall? This sos feature doesn’t come with the phone for free?
Libertarian moment
@Jaz Just for the first two years…like it says in the video.
I would hate to live in your world.
Just wait for Elon with starlink and TMobile. Elon will be allowing emergency satellite text and call.
It’s a sales pitch from apple. like we’re supposed to forget all the CHILD SLAVES they used to make their phones.
Android begin salt rn
Yes it does but it leaves out the detector make sure that group has proper shelter
To obtain financial freedom, one must either be a business owner, an investor or both, generating passive income, particularly on a monthly basis.
A transformations from my investment of $4000 to a $15,400 in just 2 weeks!!
I met Expert James last year for the first time at a conference in Newtown CT, I invested $24,000 and traded in one month making close to $94,450, am happy that took the step to success by trading with James Noah.
What does this comment have to do with a rescue from an iPhone 14…ohhhh nevermind the lady said priceless and you decided to talk about income…I get it
the bots have started conversations with each other lmao
@Kendal Dang bro y’all shut tf up 😂😂😂😂😂❌❌❌
But they still refuse to brick a stolen phone which leads to injuries and deaths every day.
How does a bricked phone lead to injuries?
@Jaz It doesn’t.
No signal but Apple will still somehow find a signal for you because this is good marketing !
_Save Apple Stock from China !_
Who cares about the phone tell us what kind of car they had that allowed them to walk away from that accident
Ona the phone text they received it said Hyundai Elantra if that was their actual text message. Watch the video again.
@patti3d I wouldn’t recommend a hyundai even to my worst enemy😂 Honda and Toyota make the best small sedans in the world.
@patti3d I don’t have to thanks for your helpful comments, Hyundai ELANTRA that’s the important thing to take away from this story
That car did exactly what it was ment to do. It crumpled but protected the passengers inside. The phone helped them get home but the car saved their lives. I want to know what kind of car that was!
@Chez Ellis idaho
Pro tip do not buy a Hyundai Elantra
Tesla
@Chez Ellis 😂makres sense
@Chez Ellis thanks listening but not watching!
Free for the first two year? Pathetic
They were speeding.
Nope get your facts straight buddy , go watch KTLAs first coverage of the report , they clearly stat that someone was tailgating them and he decided to let the tailgater pass him but upon doing that the car did a 180 on him and went off the cliff … Sheesh 🙄 I love how people form opinions without facts …
That accident was 99.9% chance of driver error as clear road conditions and no object harzards in sight.
So what? Drivers make errors all the time.
They got what was coming to them. Thankfully they didn’t hurt anybody else on the road.
@Mission Im so sick of people like u w ur weird remarks. Like yall need to end it for urselves
How do you know it was clear? That is a video taken after what happened. I’m not saying it wasn’t clear but we just can’t know from this news report.
The very phone that distracted them and caused them to crash saved them. How ironic.
Why are you assuming that was the cause of the crash?
I just said that lol
How so?
Crypto investing has brought me great success!!! Irrespective of the economic depression I can boast of over $12,000 every week on my investment. All thanks Mr Thomas McDonald, thank you for your focus on quality stock/crypto
@William Gorge Great got it thanks alot, I have contacted him and he just responded told him you referred me.
I can sincerely say he’s one of the best Traders I have ever seen in the state in the past few years, now cutting losses and ensuring profits..
Thomas McDonald and his bots are all PoS
These bots are hilarious
@L. Jennings omggg this is getting crazy
OMG! If you want to live the iPhone is the only chance 😅
Or, you could just learn how to drive
Modern technology at its BEST!
1 of the best iPhone 14 ad so far !
Lol it’s on all iPhones
@MR Robot Offical No. only iPhone 14 models has crash detection. Emergency SOS is on all.
“Free for the first two years”…. After that pay up or die. Sounds about right for our current world order.
This is prob the only cool thing about apple.
Yeah and hundreds of cooler thing
@Walley Like?
Not to mention the iPhone 14 was probably also the cause of the crash in the first place. Please don’t text and drive. Ironic.
She wasn’t driving. He was and got cut off.
I’m glad I switch to an iPhone. It may save lives.
Thanks for testing it out
That’s kind of messed up man
Sponsored by Apple
Plot twist: The entire thing was staged by Apple to sell phones.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you are actually just a simulation.
@Dem Pilafian Actually, I’m the only one who’s real. You and everyone else are the simulations in this simulated universe that I created. Don’t bother denying it as you’ve been programed to deny it. You may have even been programed not to know it. My hypothesis is that I put myself into these simulations over and over again, without the actual knowledge that they’re not real so that they’ll continue to be interesting to me. When I ‘die’, I’ll either do it again or I’ll do something different.
My question is what kind of fast and furious stunt where they performing
So you had to find the phone and still initiate the 911 call?
of course it’s a good ad for Apple, but when it doesn’t work for Crash detection having false positive on roller coaster or ski stations, they also have to deal with false positive like this … that’s the pros and cons of entering into each person’s safety .
Well they should have a option to cancel out also it has to only detect if the force is super sevear
These people are lucky as fudge. Hopefully they’re not gang affiliated.
SAMSUNG!!!!
Exactly ❤
the phone still wants you to swipe, what if you were stuck and couldnt reach your phone lmao. gimmicks, and a free advertisement for apple
No, the phone will automatically call 911 if you don’t swipe. Even If you lose consciousness, the phone still calls 911
Sponsored by Apple thank you
Apple you’re really genius. Thank you for saving them. And above all thank God for enabling Apple to developed this technology that saves life. 👍❤️
Lol. Apple did this. God had no involvement. Thank the developers who put time and effort into making this possible.
@TNTkeynine🙄
@Motorsport Creative enjoy your crayons 🖍
Don’t drive a Hyundai Elantra…
Crash and fall detection should be standard no matter the model of cell phone. Apple are you listening?
It is, every Apple Watch and iPhone model that came out this year has it, no matter if it’s a pro model or base model
Don’t see Samsung with that
It is standard on all iPhone 14 and 14 pro and models going forward.
@Christopher Todd I am referring to earlier models also…7..through current
Androids could never
😮
This is an incredibly slick way for apple to advertise their products…makes you think
Take a picture of an upside down damaged car, broken phone, hire two random NPC without a scratch on their face. Right in time for Christmas
did you make sure to stretch before doing all that reaching?
@Jesse It’s a stretch to say that Apple is creating life-saving uses for their technology?
Exactly, they are a totally corrupt company
Smart marketing Apple. Right in time for the Holidays
It’s saving people’s life’s dummy 😂
* android sheep getting mad
Androids are now on emergency meeting.
Staged fake accident. How can anyone survive that fall and be able to talk the next day as if nothing happened?
Lmao the first time I’ve ever heard of this
Why isn’t this in every car… vs phone and to top it off they charge a fee after 2 years… it should be free
Nothing in this world is free, they need money to maintain equipment and workers, plus this is a company investment, not a government thing
The phone had nothing to do with it ,when the sos goes off on the vehicle ,police,fire,and ambulance will be disbatched to the cars location unless you say otherwise .i tried mine when i bought my subaru ,the person on the other line had me pegged to the exact spot i was at
This is not true. They were not in cell tower range for the car to be able to collect to a tower. The iPhone 14 can now connect to satellites in low orbit in order to send small amounts of data (such as a short text and location). That is how the signal was sent in this case. It was not via cell towers.
The iPhone 13 and 14’s have sucked lately. The updates are meh and there’s little-to-no improvements.
Lol ok
Galaxy is 100x better 👍
And $10,000 for the helicopter ride not covered by insurance.
android users be like 🫤🍌
I remember when I was hit in a car accident I realized my car had this feature lol. I was stunned and then heard someone over my speakers asking if I was ok and if we needed emergency services I was so confused but it had emergency services there pretty fast
Plot twist, playing with the phone caused the wreck.
That is why I got the Apple Watch. I live alone and have fallen a few times.
Nba YoungBoy is better 🤓🤓🤓
@SirCartier🧛🏿 afraid to ask what that is?
Yes. Give the consumer priceless security them monetize it to rake in even more trillions of dollars.
How does a phone differentiate between being dropped off/thrown a ledge purposefully VS being in a car crash? It would make more sense if the phone could connect to the car’s systems, and the car shared this information with the phone itself.
It has multiple ways to detect those kinds of forces. However, it’s one more reason you don’t want to take that kind of phone on an amusement park ride. It can trigger the emergency service alert, and if you don’t turn it off, it will automatically call 911.
@The Wood Oh, that makes sense. In this video, the phone was sent a text that prompted a response if emergency service was needed.
It’s literally on their website.
@Motorsport Creative Good for you, but as I don’t have an iPhone 14, and I don’t regularly pursue Apple’s website for funsies, there is no logical reason for me to already possess this information.
@Kingdom of Dreams fair point but if you were curious then why not do what he said and look at apples site, or just look it up on google or youtube instead lol
great job iPhone 👍👍 but still all, thank God! the author of our lives 💙
I love how this service is free for the first two years! Is it safe to say that…Apple will soon be profiting from severe and potentially fatal automobile accidents? 🤔
So does OnStar
Oh they will….they have a bad reputation as it is
Yup, just like life insurance, car insurance, home insurance….. you are so smart 🙀 🙄
Wonder how much it’s gonna cost after 2 years
Apple out here saving lives
I can’t tell if this a feel-good story, or an AD for iPhone Emergency Services.
I love how that is just an option for that phone satellite and crash detection that should’ve been a feature for at least iPhone, 12 and up what would’ve happened if somebody that had the iPhone 13 promax would’ve gotten in that crash Apple should make that a feature for every phone at least not just one line up💀
I phone paid the couples to play the ad because iphone 14 market is going down.
oh boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apple to the rescue
Hope apple stock rallys
The comment section is toxic.
Glad they were able to be saved. ❤
Not toxic , just creative.
I went off a cliff too but all that happened was my flashlight turned on. ( Android )
Androids have been doing this for years, for free!
Some of us still have 10s, 11s, 12s & 13s
Tim Cook just jizzed himself
Jesus Christ called people everywhere to repent, so if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe with all your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved and inherit the kingdom of heaven and eternal life. To this, people would accept Jesus Christ in life in their hearts and told other people how good he is, how he saves, heals and frees and gives eternal life for free 2
No thanks, already had him
Here’s the thing, cell providers have coverage almost everywhere in the USA now with exceptions of some wooded areas, but surprise if your carrier doesn’t have service dialing 911 or even 112 will call emergency services using ANY AVAILABLE NETWORK even if you’re not allowed roaming. FACT. Also cell carriers now have triangulation and A-GPS that even cross carrier can send that information to emergency services.
The ONLY time a satellite connection should be ever used is really if you’re in the middle of Nevada desert where potentially no carriers exist. Or in West Virginia where a radio blackout zone happens to be.
The carriers might provide the coverage, but not the technology to tap into it when it’s needed.
Thank God for all the slave labor in China making those apple phones
I can already see it “sorry didnt mean to call youse just droppped my phone”😂
I say if you have an iphone that should be free with itunes .
What they tell you is this will also activate if you ride an amusement park ride that is very jerk like a roller coaster!
Since the cultural revolution of the sixties, it was made impossible to investigate and jail progressive globalist liberals. All 3rd world progressive leaders have always found a way out of their countries.
But here is some questions for Africa and Asia. ” Why do they insist in teaching your children to hate their cultures and countries ? Why is it that your leaders are chosen by them ? Most importantly, why are your children taught, that Britain and America is their real home ? Why is it that your country is deliberately kept poor ? WHY ? WAKE UP ! WAKE UP FAST
Don’t text and drive
Oh good, and iphone commercial.
3RD YEAR ARRIVES..
STAY STRANDED BROKIE-Apple inc.
RIDICULOUS and EVIL that Apple will F* charge for an emergency feature. Worse is for those that can’t pay the feature will be there, but not engaged to send lifesaving EMS. I crashed on my mountain bike quite hard, full OTB, somersaulted, and slid down a ravine, yet my fall detection on my Apple Watch, iPhone in my hip pack, didn’t pick up squawk; whereas another time I came to a simple fast stop on my mountain bike and it’s detected an emergency! Apple is a POS!
That’s not a news , that’s an ad.
Yea, they’ve been going hard with this ad. In my recommended video list this story is mentioned 4 different times. Not to mention in the last episode of Law and Order:Organized Crime they were surrounded by goons in a cellphone deadzone so one of them through threw their phone to set off this feature(can’t tell me Apple didn’t pay them to write that in).
Nothing is as crucial for remote catastrophes as an iPhone 14 for automatic crash detection and the satellite emergency recovery that only Apple is capable of providing. We’ll be seeing many more of these iPhone rescues.
@Cesar Cueto she wasn’t even driving. Take your hatred of life saving tech elsewhere.
@Your Pastor you’re the most dishonest on the comment section. Can’t even acknowledge the system Apple built worked.
@Lawrence Fearon let’s look at how many accidents ARE caused by phones
1 billion accidents caused by phones and countless deaths. Two lives saved with a for-pay feature – celebrate! Yay technology!
noobies..
@S S 1 billion accidents yet not one time was the phone driving. You tried. But you’re logic sucks.
“Free for the first 2 years” uhhhhh TF
This feature should be been there 10 years ago. Companies are introducing simple features with delayed releases because they can’t find anything else to improve on.
bad driving young male driver guilty .
his insurance is up thru the roof now lmao you aint getting a driving job now.
This just made me start crying , praise god they are okay & she had that phone !
Sam Kohl pumping his arms in the air. I wonder if this will be on the next Genius Bar Podcast episode
ANDROID. FOLLOW UP ASAP. YOU KNOW THE DRILL.
Someone who drives over 4 1/2 hours a day. This is one of the main reasons I purchase mine..
Amazing they survived that crash 🙀
At that rate I don’t think you got a lot of life ahead of you.
Oh, I must say everything was sold perfect until you guys said that it’s free for the first two years
$999.00 for that phone. And Apple wants people to STILL pay for an emergency service feature they should include for FREE
Honestly this should be on all phones and standard on all cars. Also dash cams, Should also be standard.
someone said that this technology was overengineered
well that “overengineering” just saved two people’s lives
1st, how they even survived?
Having that feature should bring down your life insurance policy let alone a decrease in auto insurance.
This is nothing more than a plug for iphone. Come on people do you know how far 350 ft is. And they only had scratches. Lmao America has become so easy.
iPhone sucks.
