Meanwhile, the Apple iPhone 14 range is making news because of its glitch found in crash detection feature. Apparently, the crash detection feature of Apple iPhone 14 is bugging emergency responders with automated crash alerts in the ski county of Colorado.

As per a report, the Pitkin County 911 Center of Colorado receives approx 20 automated emergency calls because of the glitch in iPhone 14’s crash detection feature. Moreover, the Grand Country reported almost 30 calls a day which were all triggered due to the glitch. As per the Cupertino based company, the crash detection feature only works when in the car, but it has not been seen to work like this in several cases.

Jaime FitzSimons, the Summit County Sheriff has recently contacted the technology company to mention his concerns of the increased automated calls to his dispatch centre. Apple has replied to the Sheriff stating that it released an update which would reduce the number of automated calls. Moreover, Apple replied to Pitkin County stating that it is working on the fix and it should be released by the first quarter of next year.
