Apple introduced the Emergency SOS feature with the iPhone 14 series. The feature can help iPhone users contact emergency services without a cellular signal. It has since then planned to expand availability to more countries, but the feature is saving lives already. It just helped save a family of five from a wildfire in Maui, Hawaii.
The tragic wildfire in Hawaii, spreading through Maui, has led to at least 36 casualties as of now, and thousands more evacuated. Emergency services are at work, trying to minimize the damage, and it appears Apple's Emergency SOS has helped save at least five people from the wildfire.
