>where iPhones have been inundating 911 call centers with unintentional "butt dials".
This happened to me just a few months ago. I'm sitting in the passenger's seat of a car and, out of the blue, I get a call from a weird Caller ID which, of course, I hang up on. I get another call, this time from a regular looking number in the local area code. I reluctantly answer it (in spite of my friend driving telling me to hang up) and it's nearby emergency services. I'm of course totally confused and ended up hanging up on them when they start asking my name etc.
It turns out there's a setting you can change to make this harder to do by accident but I had no idea until I looked it up.
