Reply to comment by [deleted] in Some iPhone 14 users say the crash detection feature has triggered false alarms and called 911 during rollercoaster rides or after a phone drop while driving by speckz

Or you could watch WTF you're doing. They're clearly labeled and if someone isn't paying attention to which bar is OFF and which is POLICE, that's not on Apple.

For those of you who clearly don't have an iPhone... the power off slider is at the top. The Emergency Call slider is halfway down the screen. You'd have to be beyond careless to swipe the latter when you meant the former.

I have to agree with u/rickg on this one. Why listen to what the consumers want? We should be remember to be grateful to Apple Inc (™️, all rights reserved) and change our lifestyles to suit the what the corporation dictates. If tons of users accidentally trigger the SOS feature, it must be their fault, not apple’s, OBVIOUSLY

To quote u/rickg, just “watch WTF you’re doing” ok?

Amusing, but come on. It's beyond careless to think you're swiping the power off slider at the top of the screen but to actually swipe the Emergency call button which is HALFWAY DOWN THE FUCKING SCREEN.

You either don't use an iPhone or you're an idiot. What, Tim should come out and hold your hand to make sure you don't swipe the wrong thing?

There are two sliders, both of which do very different functions on the exact same screen, so I can fully understand someone making this mistake

Anone is at the top of the screen, the other in the middle of the screen. People need to not be idiots and watch what they do.

The amount of times my phone has almost dialed 911 from being in my pocket urges me to disagree.

Mine never has. In over a decade. How does yours do this (is it the 5 button press thing?)
