iPhones do this but IIRC it works through coordination with the carrier, so not everyone sees it.

Which carriers work? I'm on AT&T. Same SIM card I used with the Pixel. I'd be happy to meet Apple halfway on this one, I just want the spam gone.
I have AT&T and see “suspected spam” calls on my iPhone.

I had it on T-Mobile, switched to Verizon, still have it.
I bought an iPhone this time around because I wanted to play with lidar and because google defaulted hard on the "free picture storage" promise. There's a lot to like about the iPhone, but anti-spam is a glaring exception. Holy shit, I assumed that Apple would at least have made an effort, even if wasn't their core expertise and the result wasn't quite as good as google's, but it's like they didn't even try. Meanwhile google put this into production years ago and they have iterated and tuned it to the point that the spam problem is almost completely buttoned down.
