Will the crash detection be made available later for IPhone Pro Max and Apple Watch 7? I’m sure it is just a matter of a software update and the sensors existing can read the situation?

Will the crash detection be made available in a later software update?

This is a user to user community forum where volunteers try to help other Apple users with technical issues. We have no idea what Apple is planning. But I suspect it’s more a matter of hardware capability, not software. The two models you mention definitely do not have the hardware for satellite calling which is part of crash detection.
