Don’t take an iPhone to Kings Island amusement park outside Cincinnati, Ohio, as many of its rollercoaster rides trigger new iPhones’ emergency calls.

According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), the plummeting rides have activated the iPhones’ crash detection system. The feature was introduced in the new iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8, Ultra, and SE with the latest OS. So don’t plan and having your new iPhone with you to capture a picture at these parks. Cheers come from all Android users that love roller coasters.
