Emergency SOS & Crash Detection, two brand-new features that were revealed at Apple Event, will set the new iPhone 14 series apart from the previous generation and other flagship phones. In cases where a mobile/internet service is not available, Emergency SOS will enable users to communicate via satellites and transmit emergency messages. Within just 15 seconds, and when there is a clear sky, a message can be sent using satellite frequencies.

Crash Detection is a great feature that can help your iPhone sense if you are in a car crash. It uses GPS, barometer, and microphone of iPhone to detect the unusual pattern indicating a car crash. This will trigger SOS, and an emergency call screen will appear. If the user doesn’t respond, it will connect them to emergency services, notifying emergency contact and providing location information.

The price of the iPhone 14 starts at $799, while the cost of the Plus starts at $899. Both models will be available to purchase on Sep’16 & Oct 7, respectively.

The company also unveiled its flagship models, the iPhone 14 pro & iPhone 14 Pro Max. Both devices have an always-on display and a new & faster A16 Bionic microprocessor.
