release information
The manufacturer from Cupertino does not go into further information about the security updates and bug fixes. The release notes state:
- Improved compatibility with mobile operators
- Improved crash detection on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models
Since the launch of accident detection, there have been some issues and users have reported unintentional activations of this feature, for example on a roller coaster ride. In general, the feature was developed by Apple to trigger an emergency SOS and thus alert the rescue services.
It remains to be seen whether unintentional activations of fall detection will be a thing of the past after this update. In the latest beta version of iOS 16.2, the manufacturer added a function to report such errors.
Unlike this update, iOS 16.2 will have more features. One of them is the Freeform app, which is a large digital whiteboard. Also, live activities will be improved. You can find more information about the upcoming version here:
