The new iPhone 14 is now equipped with crash detection. To see if this detection really works in a crash, there’s nothing like… a real crash.

Apple introduced the latest generation iPhone just a few weeks ago. This year, there are few novelties offered by the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro but one of them attracted the attention of motorists: the detection of accidents. Thanks to new sensors, the iPhone 14 is now able to detect road accidents. In this case, it will automatically notify emergency services. At least, this is officially reported by Apple.

A broken car

But to see if this detection really works in a crash, there’s nothing like… a real crash. That’s what decided it organize youtubeur TechRax already specializes in destroying iPhones to test their strength. Instead of hammering or dropping an iPhone from the sixth floor, he decided this time destroy a car with an iPhone on board and an on-board camera to film it all.

Effective detection

Apparently, the youtuber chose an old sedan and some wreckage to do a full-scale test. Controlled remotely to avoid any injuries, the sedan made several trips to these wrecks. Result: At high speed, the iPhone correctly detected the crash and after a few seconds directly contacted the emergency department. And good news, even at low speed crash detection also worked. The user then has a few seconds to cancel the call if all goes well. Even if it’s not exactly scientific, this test shows that this new feature works well.
