This is how Joanna details it in the American media Wall Street Journal, explaining the case of an owner of an iPhone 14 that caused the police call after he got on a roller coaster at the Kings Island amusement park in Cincinnati (United States) . In the call, the muffled cries of both the owner and the rest of the passengers were recorded.

In the aforementioned amusement park they have detected false positive calls on at least six different occasions, and in Dollywood they have come to include a warning recommending that users do not carry their devices on the attractions.

However, the tool does not activate on all iPhone 14 users, only on some occasions.
