Apple's Emergency SOS feature foils attempted sexual assault
jd_in_sb said:Not sure how she was able to press the power button and volume down button simultaneously while being assaulted.I have actually accidentally triggered this twice so far.Basically i used to use Airplay from my iPhone to a wireless Dac which allowed me to play music remotely to my tube stereo.I turned off 'sound check' (which normally compresses the music to make the volume changes between songs more 'even') because i wanted to maximize sound quality/dynamics.So I often play music on shuffle and sometimes between songs like classical guitar to modern/synth rock could become quite a volume jump since sound check was not on. I would often have the phone on the floor next to my chair and if there was a big jump in volume i would try to lower it with the volume buttons (because of apartment neighbors).However since the power button is on the opposite side i somehow accidentally activated the sos when trying to do rapid presses of the volume. When i heard the sos chime, i tried to cancel the emergency that came up on the screen but regardless each time i got a call back from emergency services and i had to give them information about my name and address and tell them it was an accident etc for them to not send a car over.So just trying to mash the volume buttons triggered this for me.
