Reply to comment by pseudopad in iPhone crash detection feature makes 100 false calls by speckz

Negligible operating cost, if the other 99.6% resulted in medical attention reaching those needing it.

The 24000 weren’t from iPhone crash detection. They don’t give those numbers. They were the total calls.

Then what were they from? Regular calls? No. That would be a false call.

So, it's from legitimate circumstances where the phone detects a crash and calls emergency services. Of 24,000 calls, 100 were not warranted. Pretty darn good.

Yes they were from regular calls.

The number from crash detection is 919. 134 were false calls.

Even that is good, considering 800 people might not have been able to call else at all.

To be fair your phone does ask if you've been in a crash and makes a lot of noise.

Not particularly hard to tell your phone that's you're ok and not to call the emergency services 😂
