10 seconds doesn’t sound like a long time, but you’d be surprised at what you can do in 10 seconds.

10? Do you have trouble getting an erection or what?

Start an Apple vs Android battle? Like why is Apple listed in the headline?! (going to read the article now) hehehe.

I read that supposedly the USGS had discussed with Apple about integrating ShakeAlert into iOS as well, but it seems like it didn't went through...

Apple HQ at Cupertino must've felt it and even got warnings, so I hope they could consider it this time... but I doubt it.

Maybe they sent a video to Apple and it was grainy? Should've dropboxed it.

That’s pretty cool for Android users. Too bad their phones can’t alert emergency response when they ride a roller coaster like my iPhone can.

Android phones (not all of course) do already have this feature (since 2019), and they also have the roller-coaster issue.

Since every new car will be required to have this feature as standard, and it's been an option for over 20 years. It's of somewhat limited use in the future, but could help someone someday.

I was thinking the opposite. Normally an android feature is something they threw at a wall and went with that, leaving it to Apple to show how it’s supposed to be designed.

I am an Apple user that appreciates their attention to UX and detail, but they’re also guilty of a lot of crap.

Just glad Google pulled off a more effective warning system, which will no doubt cause Apple to improve theirs. Competition means we all win.

I got one of these a month ago for a smaller quake a little north of this one. Happened right as the quake happened but my brain was still thinking "wtf was that" when my phone told me "EARTHQUAKE DUMMY"

Not a forewarning but still useful in a way
