The announcement was made today, on World Mental Health Day, in support of global mental health education and awareness, as Selena bravely shares her own journey in this revealing film.

After years in the limelight, Selena Gomez achieves unimaginable stardom. But just as she reaches a new peak, an unexpected turn pulls her into darkness. This uniquely raw and intimate documentary spans her six-year journey into a new light.

As a recording artist, Gomez has sold more than 210 million singles worldwide and amassed over 45 billion global streams of her music. This year, she received a Grammy nomination for her first all-Spanish EP and an Emmy nomination for her role in the critically acclaimed and award-winning series “Only Murders in the Building,” in which she stars opposite Steve Martin and Martin Short.

Alek Keshishian directed the most successful documentary of its time — the iconic, critically acclaimed film “Madonna: Truth or Dare,” still regarded as one of the most influential films of its genre.

This film marks the second project for Apple with producers Lighthouse Management + Media and Interscope Films following their collaboration on the Emmy Award-nominated documentary “Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry.”

iPhone 14 Mistakenly calling 9-1-1 during Rollercoaster Rides

CompuScoop Staff October 10, 2022 0

Rollercoaster riders in recent days have been accidentally calling emergency services as the extreme motions of the rides set off iPhone 14’s car Crash Detection feature.

The iPhone 14 and the company’s new Apple Watch include accelerometers and a gyroscope, which can measure sudden changes in speed and direction.

The phone’s software is designed to pick up if a sudden stop might have been the result of a car accident.

If the sensors detect a user has been in an accident, the phone will display an alert and after 20 seconds make an automated call to first responders in case the user cannot reach their phone or is unconscious.

However, the tech giant’s software appears to be mistaking the jerks and jolts experienced by thrill seekers on theme park rides for life-threatening collisions.

The entire iPhone 14 lineup introduces groundbreaking safety capabilities that can provide emergency assistance when it matters most. With a new dual-core accelerometer capable of detecting G-force measurements of up to 256Gs and a new high dynamic range gyroscope, Crash Detection on iPhone can now detect a severe car crash and automatically dial emergency services when a user is unconscious or unable to reach their iPhone. These capabilities build on existing components, like the barometer, which can now detect cabin pressure changes, the GPS for additional input for speed changes, and the microphone, which can recognize loud noises typified by severe car crashes. Advanced Apple-designed motion algorithms trained with over a million hours of real-world driving and crash record data provide even better accuracy. When combined with Apple Watch, Crash Detection seamlessly leverages the unique strength of both devices to get users help efficiently. When a severe crash is detected, the emergency services call interface will appear on Apple Watch, as it is most likely to be in closer proximity to the user, while the call is placed through iPhone if it is in range for the best possible connection.

While Apple refines its Crash Detection algorithms, simply enable Airplane Mode on your iPhones and Apple Watches while on rollercoasters or similarly jolting amusement park rides.

Crash Detection works on these iPhone and Apple Watch models:
• iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models with the latest version of iOS
• Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE (2nd generation), and Apple Watch Ultra with the latest version of watchOS
