The iPhone 14 introduced one of the most important features Apple has ever launched: Emergency SOS via Satellite.

three BYU college students went for a hike in Emery County, Utah, and reached a deep pool about “500 feet deep of sheer, rock walls.”

“We suspect that Utah’s extra wet winter changed the canyon somewhat, resulting in a much harder scenario than we were prepared for,” said Jeremy Mumford to 2News. “I went into hypothermic shock and started panicking and freezing up, and these two saw me and became very concerned.” KUTV reports that, eventually, the group was able to tie loops into their ropes to gain traction and clip their carabiners to get out of the deep slot. That said, two of the BYU students stayed trapped for nearly an hour trying to get out of the deep pool in the canyon.
