The crash detection also sends GPS deets to someone? I hadn't heard that.

It sends GPS location to emergency services and your emergency contacts, otherwise what would be the point? “Your wife has crashed, somewhere on planet earth. Good luck!”

I mean, yes of course to emergency services, didn't know about the emergency contacts.

To be fair, I didn't really look into the details of how Apple did it since Google did this a few years ago (I have a Pixel). I completely forgot about the emergency contacts bit. Just checked and I have it set up with my wife already. Oops.

How long before we hear about the first idiot who sets his iPhone to send a crash notification out to his wife and his mistress?
