Google Pixel 6 still freezes when calling Emergency Services

After using Android for 10 years, a similar experience made me switch. I'd just bought a Pixel 5, and I received a call from a pizza delivery driver. I say I received a call because the phone rang. Otherwise I'd never have known. The UI didn't show it at all, even though it was responsive, and the missed call log section never populated. Nothing except the ringer sound.

The next day I switched to iPhone and have never regretted it. Like, if my phone can't receive calls or even capture that a call was missed, none of its other features matter.

Do you not remember the iPhone 4, which couldn't be held in your hand while taking a phone call?

The iPhone 8 I was given by a client wasn't perfect either. It would regularly miss notifications - even direct pings in messaging apps - then spam many at once 3-4 hours later. I was never able to fix it, so the phone was just a paperweight with a 2FA app on it.

I've certainly had more problems with Apple devices (Macbooks & iPhones) in my experience, and I'm glad I now work somewhere where we all get Linux laptops and are not forced into dealing with Apple's locked down and underwhelming software.
