With the introduction of the iPhone 14 models, Apple also showcased the emergency satellite connection system. This system allows iPhone 14 users to send emergency messages via satellite when they cannot access cellular data or Wi-Fi, and it has saved many lives. Now, it’s time for the trees.
iPhone 14 and satellite connection system prevented forest fires
In recent times, including our country, wildfires have significantly increased in the northern hemisphere during the summer months. Canada’s vast forested areas are among the regions where fires frequently occur. Especially in mountainous areas, people face difficulties in reaching help due to lack of cell phone signal. However, Apple’s emergency satellite connection system seems to come into play at this point.
According to regional sources, a couple fighting a forest fire at Dog Lake in Ontario, Canada, used the iPhone 14 feature to communicate with emergency services. The officials who were alerted by the emergency message managed to intervene in the fire in the region in a short time. Thankfully, the fire was extinguished quickly.
Apple rolls out the second public betas of iOS 17 and iPadOS 17, offering a sneak peek at the much-awaited features to non-developers.
People who were traveling on the lake and noticed a fire on an island stated that they used the iPhone 14’s emergency satellite connection system. Afterwards, the campers notified the authorities, which prevented the fire on the island from spreading further.
Apple’s emergency satellite connection has been used to rescue people stranded in certain areas before. So far, this feature has saved many lives, and now it has also prevented the destruction of a forest.
The emergency satellite connection system that Apple started offering with the iPhone 14 models can be considered very useful. What do you think about the forest fire and Apple’s emergency satellite connection system? You can share your opinions in the comments section.
