Recently a man's life was saved in Los Angeles after his car falls into 400feet deep canyon. All thanks to the iPhone 14's crash detection and emergency SOS features. 

On Friday evening, the man accidentally drove his car off a cliff, falling 400 feet into a canyon in the Mount Wilson area. Fortunately the phone automatically detected the crash and sent a text message along with the location coordinates to emergency responders via satellite connection.

One of the leaders of the search and rescue team, alleged that it would have been challenging to find the man without the iPhone's help as he was 400ft down in the canyon with virtually no way out.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of such life-saving technologies in our smartphones. They make a significant difference in critical situations and saves life's when traditional communication methods are not available.

"What we need is that every base site that we have, we need to add a new technoology so that the roll out that we are doing currently is almost entirely on 4G. Our 3G rollout is over and I would say 3G, in any way, in 2-3 years, we will have to shut it down. Our 3G network will also shift to 4G. And these are mostly software switches," their source said.

According to the firm, India will be the first place to phase out its 3G networks.
