TECH - Steven Spielberg's Talk Interrupted By Apple Watch Hard Fall Alert Causing Stir — Here Is How The Legendary Director Responded To The 'Crisis' | Benzinga
On Saturday, during the Tribeka Festival, renowned director Steven Spielberg experienced an unexpected interruption from his Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) Watch, which falsely detected a hard fall.
What Happened: Spielberg’s Apple Watch, a device known for its Fall Detection feature, sounded an alarm during his talk, indicating a hard fall. Instead of dismissing the alert, Spielberg removed the watch and placed it on the ground, reported Variety.
“It looks like you've taken a hard fall,” he said jokingly, adding, “I'm not going to press the SOS [button]. I'll pick it up later.”
When the watch did not receive a response from Spielberg, it initiated an audible countdown before contacting emergency services. He then quickly retrieved the watch and deactivated the alert.
