The issues mentioned are existing issues in Android devices today and for a few years that the iPhone has full parity with, so I think even if the new features are dropped the criticism stands.

I'm talking in general, nothing to do with iPhone 14.

Apple released fall detection in Apple Watch few years ago, there are already stories of lives it saved.

I'm pretty sure if Apple had an outstanding software bug of not being able to call emergency services for over a year now, I'm pretty sure we (HN crowd) would know it by now.

Android does have crash detection. I understand your claim as Apple values safety, whereas Google does not in their feature releases. But, that is not true. It is true that Google products are mostly garbage these days, so don't get me wrong there.
