Once again, the iPhone has potentially saved some lives, with Apple's Emergency SOS functionality crucial to a rescue of 10 hikers who got lost in Santa Paula Canyon's "Last Chance" area.
This feature is such a good addition. It was a big reason I upgraded to the iPhone 14 pro last year. We do a lot of hiking as a family and even though most of our hikes take place in the surrounding areas of a major metropolitan region, we often find ourselves in spots with no cell phone reception. Having the ability to call for help in those areas, while I may never actually need it, is a nice feeling.
