  • iPhones need to yell "Your dropped me!" like out of our pockets.

    From Ant@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 2 13:13:21 2025
    iPhones need to yell "Your dropped me!" like out of our pockets. This is
    what happened about 15 minutes ago. I went bonker trying to find it! I
    had to play its sound, but couldn't hear near by but other house members
    did and woke up and found it in the hallway's rug. Thanks God it was at
    home, it played audio from an old iPhone's Find My app, and OK.

    And yes, I left a feedback to Apple. :P

    I guess you never set the Emergency Call feature and do not have Fall
    Detection activated on your Apple watch or the landing was very soft.

    I don't have Apple watch. Just iPhones.

    If it's a recent iPhone with UWB...

    ...every iPhone since the iPhone 11 (except the 2nd and 3rd generation
    SEs)...

    ...then you can locate it to within a metre using any other iPhone that
    has the same feature.

    It's too bad nobody at Apple ever thought of this...

    To be fair, I don't think that would have helped Ant, because one would
    assume that the notification would be turned off for the home.
