It’s not just iPhones. I’ve got a Samsung galaxy s21 and numerous times this summer my phone in my shorts pocket registered a touch through my clothes and pressed the emergency button, despite having SOS disabled. All it takes is to swipe up from the lock screen, or even double tap a notification while the screen is off to get the emergency button.

I’ve got a Samsung phone, but have never had it dial 911 by accident.
My comment was in reference to several news reports last year about 911 problems related specifically to iphones.
But regardless of the phone, it sounds like a problem for the 911 operators! 😱
