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

I'll bash Apple on all kinds of stuff (anti-competition, breaking older phones intentionally using software, gouging customers, etc.).

A product making false calls that need a simple "it was a mistake" discussion for a feature that has saved MANY lives, is not something bashable.

What about making a pocket phone that bends easily when in a pocket?

unfortunately that's the consequences of them (edit: as in Phone manufacturers, not just Apple) wanting to make thinner n thinner n thinner phones.

so out of the 113 calls how many times were the 911 unable to call back, have the guy pick up and phone and say "no, I'm ok"? because 15% extra overhead of a phone call per real 911 call isn't much, even before the apple fix. If that doesn't work, and police is sent... that's much more expensive

Id rather the police go out than someone be dead and they didnt go to cut "cost".

Do you not remember the apple phone with the exploding battery that needed to be recalled?

Do you think I have a Samsung? I have an Iphone, just like I have EA games. Doesnt mean I support their actions.
