And hop, 10 unconscious saved at once (by the iPhone)

We would almost become jaded, but the stakes are such that we can only rejoice when an electronic device helps save lives.

The new satellite emergency call function of the iPhone 14 strikes again and this time comes to the rescue of ten hikers stuck in the Santa Paula canyon in California on May 12th. More precisely, they found themselves trapped in an area called "Last Chance", it can't be invented.

iPhone 14 satellite emergency call for in areas without terrestrial network

Lack of visibility and easy access paths, the ten walkers had no choice but to call for help using the satellite call of an iPhone 14, the normal network being inaccessible in their area. The rescue team was ready half an hour later and quickly found the lost group who shouldn't have tackled this hike which apparently is nothing short of a walk in the park, described as difficult and rugged, with seriously demanding terrain. “Most of the hikers were unprepared for the hike and were given food, drinking water and lighting equipment as they were guided to the Santa Paula Canyon trailhead,” said said the rescue team.
