“iPhone 14 Pro comes with Collision Detection, a vital new safety feature that can detect a serious car accident and automatically call for help, even when you can’t,” says Apple, in the video’s description. “Add that to the new 48MP Pro camera and a completely redesigned display, and the iPhone 14 Pro redefines what a smartphone can do. Again.” With a new dual-core accelerometer, barometer and other sensors, Apple says iPhone 14 Pro models can detect a serious car accident and automatically call emergency services if the user is unresponsive after a 10-second countdown. Apple says the feature relies on “advanced motion algorithms designed by Apple, trained with over a million hours of real-world driving and crash record data” for increased accuracy. Collision detection is also available on the new Apple Watch Ultra, Apple Watch Series 8 and second-generation Apple Watch SE models. Exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro models, the Dynamic Island replaces the traditional notch found on the iPhone 13 models. With the help of software, the pill-shaped cutout transforms into different shapes and sizes for things like incoming phone calls, notifications, notifications, control Face ID, timers, turn-by-turn navigation, Live Activities and more. With an always-on display, the time, widgets and Live Activities are always available at a glance on iPhone 14 Pro models. The display also has up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness outdoors, which is up to twice as bright as the iPhone 13 Pro display. The iPhone 14 Pro models became available for pre-order earlier today and will be released on September 16.
