Safety Features
Vital new safety features we hope you’ll never need.
Emergency SOS via satellite.
Peace of mind when you’re off the grid.
If you don’t have cell service or Wi‑Fi, iPhone lets you text emergency services over satellite.3
SOS
How on earth
do you communicate via satellite?
Satellites are moving targets with low bandwidth. It can take minutes for messages to get through. Since every second counts, iPhone front-loads a few questions to assess your situation — just tap to respond. Then it shows you where to point to connect to a satellite.
Once connected, iPhone automatically sends your answers, location, Medical ID (if set up), and battery level to a dispatcher.
You must be outdoors with a clear view of the sky. Since satellites are moving rapidly through space, iPhone will show you where to point to maintain your connection — and avoid obstructions such as mountains and heavy foliage.
Texting via satellite takes time. In ideal conditions, you can send a message in less than 15 seconds. Under light foliage, it can take more than a minute.
Emergency SOS via satellite is included for free with iPhone 14 for two years
Watch the video to see Emergency SOS via satellite in action.
An infrastructure of innovation.
Apple-designed components and software allow iPhone 14 antennas to connect to satellite frequencies. And since bandwidth is low, we created a compression algorithm that makes text messages three times smaller, speeding up communication.
On the ground, we route your text message through a complex infrastructure to emergency service providers. Only some accept texts. For those that don’t, we’ve set up emergency relay centers with Apple‑trained specialists who call for help on your behalf.
Let friends know how remote you go.
If you’re on an adventure without cell service, you can now use Find My to share your location via satellite so friends and family know where you are.
Crash Detection calls for help when you can’t.
iPhone 14 can detect a severe car crash, then call 911 and notify your emergency contacts.4
Crash Detection
How iPhone feels, hears, and measures a crash.
Sudden speed shifts
A new high g‑force accelerometer senses extreme accelerations or decelerations up to 256 Gs.
Abrupt changes in direction
A high dynamic range gyroscope monitors drastic changes in a car’s orientation.
Laboratory crash tests
We developed advanced motion algorithms by performing head-on, rear-end, side-impact, and rollover crash tests.
Cabin pressure changes
The barometer can detect pressure changes caused by deploying airbags.
Loud sound levels of impact
While you’re driving, the microphone identifies the extreme sound levels of a collision. For privacy, all processing is done on your iPhone.
Real-world crash data
We used public crash data from accidents to make Crash Detection as accurate as possible.
1 million hours of real‑world driving and crash data helps iPhone recognize accidents

Camera
A new Main camera features a bigger sensor and a larger aperture that let in 49 percent more light.
Tap the shutter and the new Photonic Engine goes beyond what the camera alone can do. It merges the best pixels from multiple exposures at an earlier stage than ever before. This preserves much more image data to deliver brighter, more lifelike colors and beautifully detailed textures in even lower light.
