iPhone Emergency Call Feature Continues to Generate False Alarms Due to Crash Detection

Despite the company’s efforts, the Crash Detection system has continued to trigger false calls. Between December 16 and January 23, the Japanese Alps emergency services received 134 false calls, mainly from the iPhone 14’s Crash Detection system triggering while users were skiing down the slopes. Out of the 919 emergency calls received by the Fire Department Kita-Alps Nagano, nearly 10% were false.
