In an extraordinary rescue tale, a group of ten adolescent trekkers were recently saved in southern California, thanks to the lifesaving Emergency SOS feature of the latest iPhone.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office detailed in a report that the young adventurers found themselves disoriented near the Last Chance Trail, located in Santa Paula Canyon, just outside of Ojai. The group was reported missing around 8 p.m., when the Emergency SOS system on their iPhone dispatched a text message to local authorities, detailing their situation and inability to relocate the trailhead.
