Man saved after falling into 400ft gorge due to iPhone 14 SOS feature

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.

Denmark, Finland, Switzerland, and Norway.

Now, Apple is set to add to this list, with India amongst thecountries that is slated to get the cheapest current-generation iPhone.

The iPhone 5c was launched in India carrying a price tag of Rs. 41,900 for the 16GB model. 8GB variant is cheaper than the 16GB iPhone 5c by EUR 50 (Rs. 4,100 approximately), so a sub-Rs. 35,000 price tag for the 8GB iPhone 5c is likely.

While the 8GB iPhone 5c is not without its limitations aswe've noted earlier , the strategy of offering previous generations iPhone models at lower price points has worked well for Apple India in the recent past, so it's likely thagetales of the first 'colourful' iPhone will also get a push thanks to the price.
